Dymax Corporation has introduced a new chemical- and temperature-resistent resin.
The company claims SpeedMask 750, a UV/Visible light-curable masking resin, is formulated to provide excellent surface protection during higher temperature thermal spray coating, plasma spray, some HVOF processes, and aggressive grit blasting. The material also can maintain adhesion during CNC machining. It cures on demand and saves hours of processing time when used as an alternative to labor-intensive manual taping or latex-based maskants with long cure cycles.
SpeedMask 750 holds its shape after application by either Dymax spray or dispense equipment, and is pink in color, making it easy to confirm placement, according to Dymax. It cures tack free after proper cure with Dymax light-curing systems for quicker handling, is easily removed through peeling or incineration in an air furnace at a minimum temperature of 1,200 degrees Fahrenheit (650 degrees Celsius), and leaves no residue after removal on non-porous surfaces. It also can be removed from the coated substrate after short exposures to warm water (60 degrees Celsius or above) or air.
SpeedMask 750 is recommended for surfaces such as nickel alloys, titanium alloys, and cobalt chrome.
Dymax Corporation develops innovative oligomer, adhesive, coating, dispensing, and light-curing systems for applications in a wide range of markets. The Torrington, Conn.-based company’s products are matched to work seamlessly with each other, providing design engineers with tools to improve manufacturing efficiency and reduce costs. Major markets include medical device, aerospace, appliance, automotive, electronics, industrial, and metal finishing.
