SpeedMask® Temporary UV Curable Masking Resins
Masking Resins for COATING Processes

|
| Air Plasma Spray - Thermal Barrier Coatings |
|---|
SpeedMask® light curing 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 flame-spray 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 spray are
deposited onto the substrate, the cured resin protects the surface underneath
the protected area. |
|
The aggressiveness of the flame-spray process, and the adhesion needed to protect a substrate surface, must be considered when choosing a masking resin. If a component substrate can accommodate inciner-ation removal, a burn-off grade of Speedmask resin would be appropriate for the process. If a substrate cannot withstand incineration, then a peelable mask would be a better choice. For shadowed areas that need protection, choose a Multi-Cure® Speedmask resin.
