Maskants come in various forms, including wax, grease, and liquid, and are chosen based on the surface and process.
For example, we offer masking powder products for low-temperature coating of nickel-based superalloy parts, as well as products for high-temperature coating of engines.
After processing, the maskant material is removed – most commonly with a maskant stripper – revealing the unblemished finished product.
We offer maskant materials for a range of applications, including:
APV Engineered Coatings offers maskant materials that are superior to the competition.
Our maskant materials are formulated to meet various industries’ specific requirements, ensuring optimal performance and protection against damage or corrosion during processing.
Our maskant materials are designed to be user-friendly and easy to apply, making manufacturing processes more efficient.
Superior adhesion and durability ensure long-lasting protection against harsh environments and wear and tear.
APV’s maskant materials come in various forms, including sprays, pastes, powders and tapes, to provide versatility in application and usage.
Colors can be customized to help identify specific areas of protection.
R.T.U. slurries can be incorporated into high-temperature coating masking systems (R.T.U. M-7/B-4, M-10/B-4, M-107/B-4) where diffusion coating processes are above 1500°F or incorporated into low-temperature coating masking system (R.T.U. M8/B-4) where diffusion coating processes are below 1500°F.
APV’s high-temperature coating masking materials prevent coating in selected areas during diffusion coating processes above 1500°F (815°C) for new and overhauled engines.
APV's low-temperature coating masking materials prevent coating in selected areas during diffusion coating processes below 1,500°F (815°C).
Maskant Binders are used in conjunction with other maskant powder products in slurry making for the diffusion coating process on aluminum alloys.
Maskant Custom Preforms are created for difficult-to-mask areas based on individual customer needs and specifications.
Cost-effective D-4 Diluents from APV Engineered Coatings maintain the viscosity of maskant slurries.
APV offers a line of masking putty and tape as alternatives to masking coatings and powders for diffusion products.
APV's Maskant Stripper is a blue crystalline compound used to remove aluminide coatings on nickel and cobalt super-alloys.
