Selective Masking Services in Orlando
Selective Masking or Precision Masking is the process of protecting areas from various coatings. Masking is also called a stop-off application. If a defined area of a part’s surface is to be void of a finish, selective masking will prevent that surface from exposure, stopping it from being finished or exposed. Masking may be employed in dry and wet processes, including Powder Coating, Thermoplastic Coatings, Anodizing, Chem Film or Abrasive Blasting.
Experienced operators at Elite Metal Finishing East utilize a variety of masking devices. By doing so, this procedure ensures the mask to be effective. Attention to detail makes our masking department superior when it comes to selective masking services in Orlando.

Masking methods fall into permanent and temporary categories. Temporary masks include waxes, tapes, paints, etc. Permanent masks are designed to conform to a specific area and are made of materials that resist chemicals so they can be used over and over. Each method has advantages and disadvantages – no one method is suitable for all stop-off operations.
