DYMAX SpeedMask masking resins from Intertronics replace lacquers, wax, tape and fixtures to save time in metal finishing processes and to fully protect critical surfaces. They are ideal for complex sensitive shapes such as turbine blades in aerospace and industrial power generation, or in manufacture of medical/orthopaedic implants, e.g. knee joint components.
These UV cure resins offer reliable protection against most metal finishing process environments. Their tenacious adhesion can provide sealing of cooling cavity openings and prevent contamination of complex parts such as turbine blades and vanes – protecting from acid, alkaline and plating solutions and from debris created in air plasma treatments, HVOF, peening and grit blasting. Where required bio-compatible grades and red or fluorescing grades are available (for enhanced visability).
The instant UV cure feature of these masks, along with availability in viscosities to suit all dispensing and flow requirements, provides the handling characteristics necessary to speed up and streamline any metal finishing process. SpeedMask masking resins contain no solvents and do not require costly solvent recovery systems – they are easily removable by burning, peeling or water solution dependant upon the material chosen, and leaving the masked surface residue free after removal.
SpeedMask masking resins are high effective and flexible in comparison with traditional labour time consuming methods and eliminate problems of failure associated with lifting edges.
