Electroplating is a highly useful process that enhances the protective qualities of different materials. For the best results, however, you need a precision finish. And for that, you need electroplating masking products. In this blog, we\u2019ll be discussing the advantages and uses of one masking product in particular: silicone plugs.<\/p>\n
Silicone plugs are a versatile masking solution<\/a> commonly used in the metal finishing industry \u2013 more specifically, in powder coating, anodising, and electroplating processes. Due to the plugs\u2019 high-temperature-resistance<\/a> silicone, they\u2019re capable of resisting heat up to 260\u00b0C. This means they can provide a tight seal and prevent unwanted coatings or finishes from being applied to specific sections of the metal.<\/p>\n Some common applications where silicone plugs are necessary include threaded holes, flangeless areas, and even irregular shapes. The use of masking plugs ensures that you maintain precision during the metal finishing process and that all necessary areas of a part are masked with care.<\/p>\n There are various types of silicone masking plugs<\/a> available, each with different features and uses:<\/p>\n It\u2019s no surprise that silicone masking plugs have become increasingly popular in the metal finishing industry.
