Thermal Spray Masking & Heat Tape FAQs:
Below are answers to common questions about thermal spray heat tape and masking compounds, including their role in protecting components, improving coating precision, and supporting efficient application processes.
What are thermal spray heat tape and masking compounds used for?
Thermal spray heat tape and masking compounds are used to protect component areas from overspray and heat during coating processes.
How do plasma spray heat tape solutions protect components?
Plasma spray heat tape solutions shield surfaces from high temperatures and coating splash during thermal spray applications.
What processes use thermal spray masking materials?
Thermal spray masking materials are used in plasma spray, arc spray, HVOF, grit blasting, and surface preparation processes.
Why are industrial masking compounds critical for coating accuracy?
Industrial masking compounds ensure clean coating lines and controlled application areas, improving coating precision.
How do thermal spray heat tape systems improve workflow efficiency?
Thermal spray heat tape systems improve workflow efficiency by simplifying masking and reducing cleanup time.
Aluminum Foil
Dewal aluminum foil fiberglass heat tapes offer the same benefits as fiberglass tapes alone but with an added benefit of more easily conforming to your subject.
Double-Ply
Double-Ply tapes from Astro Alloys reduce the time and cost in masking in those applications that require multiple layers for added abrasion and thermal spray protection.
Fiberglass
Fiberglass tapes are well suited for plasma spray applications. They also offer a clean release so are well suited to be used under other tapes for a clean release.
HVMC & Dichtol Sealant
High velocity masking compound (H.V.M.C) is a unique two-part silicone putty which is very helpful in masking holes, keyways, channels, and depressions.
HVOF
HVOF thermal spray produces a harsh environment, creating a major challenge when you need to mask off an area that doesn’t require spray. We have several options to aid in this challenge.
Mach Bloc & Powermask
Machbloc is a masking compound designed to withstand the rigors of HVOF spraying. Powermask is a brushable liquid masking option.
Silicone
Astro Alloys offers silicone rubber fiberglass heat tapes from Dewal. These tapes offer aggressive adhesion, remove cleanly, and are highly conformable.
