SpeedMask® light curing masking resins provide superior surface protection of turbine and metal components, orthopaedic implants, surgical instruments, and medical devices during the shot-peening, plastic-deformation surface treatment process.

SpeedMask masking resins have been developed to be resistant to various peening media and the pressures used in peening applications. Cured maskant provides reliable protection from peening media particles, such as cut wire, round metal or ceramic particles, and glass beads. The cured resin absorbs the energy from the ball-peen hammer effect of the media blast, while the media bounces off the masked surface, protecting the area underneath. Selection of the best SpeedMask masking resin to use depends on the blast velocity (psi or bars), as well as the media particle size (grit). Another factor to consider is the surface texture of the component. Smooth surfaces require high-adhesion masks, while rough surfaces require lower-adhesion masks.
