SHAIL MASK

In order to protect non-plating areas of components various methods have been used. Lacquer, P.V.C. tapes, stopper bushing are the traditional, lengthy & non-effective processes. Lacquer gets peeled off during the process and gets cracked, while, P.V.C. tapes gets leached out and the dissolution of its adhesive may contaminate the plating solution. 

Consequently, the majority Electroplaters around the globe are switching over to protection based polymer coatings, as an alternative method. 

"SHAIL MASK" range of coatings offer a series of formulations and methods to choose from, depending upon the base materials. These are available in pasty and liquid form and can be applied by brushing, spraying and dipping process. Before applying, the base material should be cleaned & degreased. 

Main advantages of "SHAIL MASK" ...

• resistant to Acids & Alkali media

• can withstand high temp. (upto 150 deg C)

• Anti-corrosive by nature

• can be easily peeled off after the process is over
