What is Masking
Masking is a crucial part of the surface treatment and coating process. It involves strategically covering certain sections of a product to protect them from the abrasive blasting or coating process.
In the context of metal finishing operations, masking is an essential technique in which only specific areas on a part's surface that need to be coated are exposed to those treatments.
Masking Preserves Aesthetics And Functionality
The Masking Process
The masking process at DCS typically follows the pre-treatment stage. This careful application ensures that subsequent coating stages only affect the desired areas, safeguarding essential features and guaranteeing the functionality of the final product.
After coating, masking materials are precisely removed to protect the coated surface. The outcome is a product with a precise, high-quality coating, applied exactly where it is needed.Project Requirements Inform The Masking Techniques We Employ
Masking Techniques
