Preventing powder coating from covering threads or critical parts of a workpiece is essential. Here are some common methods:
- Plugs and Caps: Various types of plugs and caps can withstand the high temperatures of curing ovens, protecting critical areas from coating.
- High-Temperature Tape: High-temperature-resistant tape can effectively mask areas that should not be coated and can be easily removed after spraying and curing.
- Reusable Options: Most plugs and caps are reusable, making them economical and environmentally friendly.
Using these protective measures ensures that only the desired areas are coated, improving the quality of the finished product.
