Duration of the process and operating temperature are the primary factors that determine the selection of the appropriate masking.

We usually recommend trying more economical alternatives before considering more expensive products. For instance, for powder coating or cataphoresis, it is not necessary to use silicone or EPDM.

Our Hi-Temp VINYL can be the most efficient solution.

The possibility to reuse Silicon and EPDM caps and plugs can make this masking cheaper than vinyl in the long run, as the latter is usually disposed of after use

Our Silicon has a different chemical composition than normal silicon. Its special formulation and the “ageing” period to which it is subjected make it suited for all treatments where it is necessary to protect a threaded hole, a pin, etc.

Vinyl caps often release small quantities of chemical agents that can cause problems when painting or e-coating.

For this reason, our vinyl products are subjected to industrial washing before they are put on the market.
