When it comes to powder coating,\u00a0masking products<\/a>\u00a0such as masking plugs are essential. Since powder coating is applied through spraying, the absence of adequate masking solutions can often result in powder being over-sprayed on unwanted areas.<\/p>\n

There are a variety of\u00a0powder coating masking product<\/a>s\u00a0available to help avoid over spraying, but when it comes to masking threaded and non-threaded holes, masking plugs are the best solution.<\/p>\n

In this article, we discuss the best masking plugs to use during powder coating and why you should select one option over the other.<\/p>\n

Best Powder Coating Masking Plugs<\/h2>\n

Tapered Plugs<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Tapered plugs<\/a>\u00a0are some of the most popular and widely used powder coating masking plugs out there. The tapered design of these masking plugs allows you to create a very tight seal by simply pushing the plug into the hole. It also gives them the ability to fit various hole sizes with ease.<\/p>\n

Tapered plugs are perfect masking plugs for powder coating as they are made out of heat resistant silicone and can withstand very high temperatures. This also gives them the ability to be reused many times before being disposed of.<\/p>\n

Pull Plugs<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

While tapered plugs are a great solution for masking bind holes, the\u00a0silicone pull plugs<\/a>\u00a0are fantastic for through holes. Pull plugs feature a smaller diameter tail and a larger handle, making them easier to install and remove from through holes. Made from silicone, these masking plugs are well suited for powder coating and other masking processes that involve high temperatures.<\/p>\n

At Hi-Tek, we stock a great selection of different sizes of\u00a0pull plugs<\/a>\u00a0available to choose from including silicone pull plugs as well\u00a0neoprene pull plugs<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Self-Threading Plugs<\/h2>\n

Silicone self-threading plugs are yet another great solution for hole masking during the powder coating process. These masking plugs have a small shoulder and a flat head. This design limits the extent to which these plugs can be pushed into the hole and makes them very easy to remove.<\/p>\n
