C33: Improving Your Masking, Racking, and Paint Removal Processes (Room E253D)

*This conference session requires registration and payment.

Innovations in Masking Design & Materials
Masking in jobs shops and production lines is an often-overlooked area. PEEK is hard plastic that handles high temps powder bake ovens. Molding rare earth magnets into mask can help with line speed and when you have no way to secure the mask to the part. The speaker will discuss proper fit, proper material selection, and ways to color code and clean the materials.

Cost-Effective, Non-Destructive Paint Removal Methods for Improved Quality and Capacity
It is generally accepted that paint and powder coating processes suffer from the overspray build-up on hooks, racks, and hangers. The solution is to remove the build-up often, but many find that hard and expensive. However, one of the costliest effects of the removal process is the damage and repairs necessary to continue to use these racks.  Learn key benefits of moving away from chipping, burning, and blasting and which process is best for you.
