Special masking
In industrial surface treatment, precise masking is crucial to the quality of the final product. Areas that must not be coated must be reliably protected—even in the case of complex geometries and demanding processes.
At EMPTMEYER plus, we develop and manufacture custom masking solutions that are precisely tailored to your components and coating processes.
Our Solutions for Special Masking Applications
Customized masking solutions instead of standard products
Although we offer a broad and proven range of standard masking products, these sometimes reach their limits when dealing with complex components or special process requirements.
In such cases, we develop custom specialty masking solutions that are precisely tailored to your application and provide an optimal solution for your coating processes.
Applications and benefits of custom masking solutions
Typical applications for our specialty masking solutions include powder coating, liquid painting, electroplating, and KTL coating. In these processes in particular, precise coverage is crucial for the quality of the final product.
By using a masking solution precisely tailored to the component, the coating areas can be precisely defined. This reduces scrap and minimizes the need for rework. In addition, process reliability and reproducibility can be significantly improved.
Materials and Manufacturing Options
Our custom masks are manufactured from high-quality materials and tailored to meet specific process requirements.
Commonly used materials include:
- Silicone
- EPDM
- FKM
Depending on the application, we produce both durable production-ready solutions and rapidly available prototypes, for example using modern 3D printing techniques. Development and manufacturing with our 3D printer take place directly at our facility in Bad Essen.
