Chemical Processes – ACID STRIPPING S peedMask® light-curable masking resins provide reliable surface protection of intricate and complex configurations during the acid-stripping process to remove coatings in the overhaul and repair of turbine components. SpeedMask resins have been formulated to withstand soaking in hot acid without permeation or seepage under the mask. When cured, the resins provide superior surface protection from chemical processing of nickel super alloys, steel, and titanium. The temporary maskants will hold up to the surface preparation of grit blasting, which may be required...

Chemical Processes – ANODIZING S peedMask® light-curable masking resins provide superior surface protection during the anodizing of turbine and other metal components. SpeedMask resins have been formulated with more chemical resistance for better surface protection from the strong acids used in the anodizing process. The cured maskant protects the substrate surface while the oxide layer of coating (which is designed to change the microscopic texture of the component surface) is being applied. SpeedMask resins can tolerate most Type I (Chromic Acid), Type II (Sulfuric Acid), or Type III (Hardcoat)...

Chemical Processes – PLATING S peedMask® light-curable masking resins provide superior surface protection of turbine and other metal components during various plating processes. SpeedMask resins have been formulated with chemical and heat resistance to protect masked areas during plating processes where particles are deposited onto conductive surfaces. These resins are able to withstand the most common plating processes such as Electroless Nickel (Ni), Platinum (Pt), Chrome (Cr), Gold (Au), Silver (Ag), and Copper (Cu). SpeedMask temporary masking resins are available in low, moderate, and high...

Chemical Processes – CHEMICAL MILLING S peedMask® resins provide superior surface These resins were developed to withstand the typical 200°F+ Nitric Acid (HNO3) and Hydrofluoric Acid (HF) solutions used for the chemical milling of titanium components. protection during the chemical milling of turbine and other metal components. SpeedMask resins have been formulated with enhanced chemical resistance for reliable protection from strong acids and alkalis used in dissolving metal substrates during chemical milling. SpeedMask 730-BT can be trimmed to provide defined edge boundaries and accommodate...

Coatings – AIR PLASMA SPRAY - THERMAL BARRIER COATINGS S peedMask® light-curable masking resins provide superior surface protection of turbine engine and structural components during thermal barrier coating processes, such as air plasma sprays. SpeedMask resins have been formulated to be resistant to the aggressive force and heat of flamespray processes. The cured maskant absorbs the energy from the force of plasma spray materials such as zirconium, molybdenum (used for thermal protection), tungsten carbide, or ceramics used for wear-resistant coatings. As the melted particles from the flame...

Coatings – PAINTING and POWDER COATINGS S peedMask® light-curable masking resins provide superior surface protection of metal and plastic turbine engine and structural components during paint- and powder-coating processes. Cured maskants are easily removed from the substrate following the completion of the process, leaving a residue-free surface. Resins cure in seconds enabling faster processing, greater output, and lower processing costs Applied by spraying, dipping, or coating SpeedMask resins have been formulated to be resistant to the heat and chemical exposure during paint- and powder-coating...

Media Finishing – GRIT-BLASTING S peedMask® light-curable masking resins provide Selection of the best SpeedMask resin to use depends on the blast velocity (psi or bars), as well as the media particle size (grit). Another factor to consider is the surface texture of the component. Smooth surfaces require high-adhesion masks, while rough surfaces require lower adhesion masks. superior surface protection of turbine and metal components during grit-blasting surface treatment. SpeedMask resins have been developed to be resilient to sharp particles and the pressure used in blasting applications. The...

Media Finishing – SHOT PEENING S peedMask® light-curable masking resins provide superior surface protection of turbine and metal components during the shot-peening, plasticdeformation surface treatment process. SpeedMask resins have been developed to be resistant to various peening media and the pressures used in peening applications. The cured maskant provides reliable protection from peening media particles, such as cut wire, round metal or ceramic particles, and glass beads. The cured resin absorbs the energy from the ball-peen hammer effect of the media blast, while the media bounces off...

Media Finishing – VIBRATORY FINISHING S peedMask® light-curable masking resins provide Selecting the best SpeedMask masking resin to use depends on the amount of adhesion needed to protect the surface underneath the mask during the process. The stronger the vibration or abrasion is, the higher the adhesion of the maskant needs to be for reliable protection. reliable surface protection of intricate and complex configurations during vibratory finishing operations such as slurry, tumbling, or deburring. SpeedMask resins have been formulated to withstand the compound solution (soap, water, or alternative...
