Masking
for surface finishing

Selective protection for functional and defined surface areas

Not every surface of a component should or may be coated. Especially in electroplating, anodising or painting. With precise masking, we specifically protect fitting surfaces, drill holes, contact points or functional areas and thus ensure technically flawless results and maximum dimensional accuracy.

Clean edges, clear function thanks to precise masking

Masking is a crucial step in the surface finishing process. Defined areas of a workpiece are masked before coating in order to specifically exclude them from electrochemical processes.

This selective processing is particularly necessary when:

Fitting dimensions and tolerances

must be complied with

Electrical contact surfaces

should remain free

Sealing areas or mechanically stressed zones

should remain unprocessed

An optical separation

between coated and untreated surfaces is desired

Masking – protection for defined surface areas

Masking protects certain areas of a component from subsequent surface treatment. This is particularly important if different material properties or functionalities are to be retained on a workpiece.

But why is it still used?

Protection of drill holes, fitting dimensions & sensitive surfaces

Prevention of unwanted coatings
