Process guide
Plating and Selective Surface Protection
Masking architecture for electroplating, chemical plating, and selective process windows where edge control and chemical fit are essential.
Process guides
Plating and Selective Surface Protection
- Protect conductive interfaces, ports, and threaded sections from unintended plating build.
- Maintain sharp process windows on mixed geometry parts and repeat fixtures.
- Prevent masking residue or movement during pre-clean, plating, rinse, and post-process steps.
Step 3: Optimize the Workflow
- Define which surfaces must stay conductive, sealable, or dimensionally bare before selecting masking families.
- Use PET and specialty tapes for process windows, labels, and edge definition where hole plugs alone are not enough.
- Standardize plug, cap, and die-cut selections by recurring part families to reduce setup drift.
