M-8 Dry Powder Maskant (S-8110)

M-8 is a masking powder used to protect selected areas of nickel-based superalloy parts such as roots of blades during aluminum diffusion coating. It acts as a “getter” for aluminum providing a protective envelope/cocoon over selected area. After processing, the hardened envelope (cocoon) can be easily removed with a wooden, plastic, or rubber implement. The powder is available in optional green or red colors.
