UV curable masking resins have been
engineered to enhance chemical resistance
for reliable protection from strong acids
and alkalis used in dissolving metal
substrates during chemical milling.
They are designed for complete protection
from undercutting and are easily removed
after the chemical milling operation is
complete. Maskant is designed for the
aerospace industry as this process is
uniquely suited to reducing weight while
maintaining strength on aluminum parts.
General Chemical Corp. supply the
aviation industry with UV PeelMask
resins which are available in
burn-off, peelable, and water soluble
grades. The resins are easily removed and
leave the surface residue free for CHEMICAL
MILLING process and other
manufacturing . The tough peelable coating
resists the attack of aggressive chemicals
such as acids & alkalies. It provides
a clean edge to exposed metal areas for
chemical erosion.
UV_PeelMask cured coating can be trimmed
to provide defined edge boundaries of
components while still providing excellent
protection with no leakage.
It is formulated to withstand the typical
200F+ Nitric Acid (HNO3) and Hydrofluoric
Acid (HF) solutions used for the chemical
milling of titanium components. It is
formulated to withstand typical Sodium
Hydroxide (NaOH) and Potassium Hydroxide
(KOH) solutions used for the chemical
milling of aluminum components. |
