Masking Tapes
One of the most critical factors that determines quality in industrial painting, coating, and surface processes is the correct application of masking. Masking products, which protect surfaces that should not be painted, are particularly important in powder coating and wet coating applications in terms of work safety, time management, and aesthetics. MEP Teknik provides high-performance masking solutions to industrial organizations, ensuring maximum efficiency and quality during production processes.
Why is Masking Necessary?
During painting processes, some surfaces should not be coated. Areas such as gears, screw holes, sealing areas, and assembly points need to be protected. Masking products are used to prevent these areas from being affected by paint.
Without Masking:
- The cleaning cost after the process increases
- Aesthetic defects occur
- The product function may be negatively affected
- Rework may be required
To avoid these negative consequences, MEP Teknik offers the right masking products, which reduce labor time and minimize scrap rates.
Masking Products in Powder Coating and Wet Coating Applications
Both painting methods have different techniques and temperatures. Therefore, masking products should be specially selected for the application.
Powder Coating Masking Products:
- High-temperature resistant silicone plugs
- Polyester film-based masking tapes
- Silicone-coated masking plugs and covers
Products resistant to temperatures of 180°C - 220°C should be preferred in powder coating ovens. MEP Teknik offers heat-resistant, reusable, and environmentally friendly solutions in this field.
Wet Coating Masking Products:
- Solvent-resistant masking tapes
- PVC or PE-based tapes
- Custom-cut masking foils and papers
In wet coating, suitable product selection should be made considering the solvent content and the application environment. MEP Teknik provides a wide range of products tailored to the specific type of application.
