Chemical Manufacturers for Maskants & Plastisol Products

Specialty coatings such as electroless nickel, hard chrome and powder coating often require selected areas of a metal part to remain free of coating. These exposed surfaces may be needed for electrical conductivity, welding, grounding, threaded connections or precise mechanical fits. Masking protects these critical areas during finishing. A microcrystalline wax manufacturer may supply wax-based masking materials, while peelable maskants and a chemical masking liquid can protect surfaces during processing. For chrome applications, liquid masking for chrome can be used to prevent unwanted deposition while allowing the coating to be applied precisely where it is needed. Plastic dip coating applies a protective polymer layer by immersing metal components in a liquid or heated plastic material. PVC is commonly used for durable, corrosion-resistant and insulating finishes. Applications include handles, tool components, wire forms, racks and chain link fence coatings. Plastic dip coating can provide impact resistance, weather protection, electrical insulation and a comfortable, non-slip surface.
