| Grit Blasting |
SpeedMask® light curing masking resins provide superior surface protection of turbine and metal components,
orthopaedic implants, surgical instruments, and medical devices during grit-blasting surface treatment.
SpeedMask masking resins have been developed to be resilient to sharp particles and the pressure used in blasting applications. The cured maskant provides reliable protection from sharp particles such as aluminum oxide, garnet, plastics, and organic media. The cured resin absorbs the energy from the air stream blast, while the media bounces off the masked surface, protecting the area underneath. |
|
Selection of the best SpeedMask
masking 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.
- Cure in seconds enables faster processing, greater output, and lower processing costs
- Residue-free removal
- Applied by spraying, dipping, or coating

| Shot Peening |
SpeedMask® light curing masking resins provide superior surface protection of turbine and metal components,
orthopaedic implants, surgical instruments, and medical devices during the shot-peening, plastic-deformation surface treatment process.
SpeedMask masking resins have been developed to be resistant to various peening media and the pressures used in peening applications. Cured maskants provide reliable protection from peening media particles, such as cut wire, round metal, 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 the masked surface, protecting the area underneath. |

| Vibratory Finishing |
SpeedMask® light curing masking resins provide reliable surface protection of intricate and complex configurations during vibratory finishing operations such as slurry, tumbling, or deburring.
SpeedMask masking resins have been formulated to withstand the compound solution (soap, water, or alternative cleaning/polishing agents) and abrasion from ceramic, plastic, or steel media while vibrating during the finishing process. |
|
Selection of 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.
