Powder Coating

In this post, we are going to take you through the primary methods for masking off mating surfaces before going through the coating process.

Powder coating masking tapes that are recommended for your powder coating process based on temperature and coating thickness requirements.

Learn about how conductive silicone is becoming a go-to option for powder coaters looking for better ways of hanging and masking the parts they're coating.

If you're a powder coater wanting to make changes to improve your masking operations, this post is for you! Echo Engineering is here to guide you through actionable changes that can revolutionize your masking processes and elevate your results.

Welcome to the SECOND installment of our new masking experiment series! In this post, we will be taking you through what happens when you remove the tape right after powder gels and compare it to what happens when we remove tape after it cools down after the cure process. 

Welcome to the first installment of our new masking experiment series! In this post, we will be taking you through a common problem powder coaters deal with and an experiment we ran in an attempt to prevent the issue without the need for custom masking. So, without further ado, let's get into it!

Masking is essential for many powder coaters, e-coaters, and other metal finishers. However, using standard rolls of tape can lead to wasted time & resources, injuries, and a higher reject rate. Custom die-cut masking tape is a specialized solution that can help streamline your production process and save you money in the long run. But how much does it cost to switch to custom die-cut masking tape?

In this post, we are going to take you through how to easily mask off bolts, studs, and tube ends during coating processes, such as powder coating and electrocoating.

Achieving crisp, clean masking lines is not always an easy task. It takes knowledge, skill, and the best tools to get the results you're looking for. In this post, we're going to take you through both masking tape tips & tricks as well as rubber molded designs to improve your results and help prevent common coating flaws.
