Thermal Spray Masking Tapes

Thermal Spray Masking Tapes

 
Taconic thermal spray masking tapes for HVOF and plasma spray applications

Taconic thermal spray masking tapes are engineered for demanding metal and ceramic coating processes requiring abrasion resistance, temperature resistance, clean masking, and reliable surface protection.

These industrial masking tapes are used in plasma spray, flame spray, HVOF spray, grit blasting, and other thermal spray applications where selected areas must be protected from coating buildup, overspray, abrasion, and heat exposure.

Available in multiple PTFE glass cloth, silicone rubber, and specialty constructions, Taconic thermal spray masking tapes help support repeatable masking performance in high-value industrial finishing and coating operations.
