Silicone Tapered Flange Plugs

Series: TFP

Silicone tapered flange plugs for concentric masking (600°F)

Silicone tapered flange plugs are recommended for powder coating, e-coating, anodizing and plating, establishing concentric masks around holes for metal finishing applications.  These silicone masking aids are ideal for establishing grounding surfaces. They have also been used successfully to insulate wiring and wire harnesses (by clipping the end off the plug and feeding the wires through it).

Silicone Multi-Flange Plugs

Series: VMFP

Silicone Multi-Flange Plugs

Multi-Flange Plugs (VMFP's) are a great option when the priority is being able to mask as many different holes sizes with a small inventory of plugs. Perfect for small powder coaters and job shops, these plugs allow for masking holes from 0.109" up to 0.709" with just three different plug sizes. With regular tapered plugs, that would take up to 15 plugs or more. Multi-flange plugs have a progressively larger tapered flanges on them, so they can be used for masking chamfers in threaded holes, or for the first thread in threaded holes that tapered plugs can't.

Silicone Flange Caps
600°F

Series: VFC

Silicone Flange Caps

Reusable masking caps designed to protect studs, bolts, and surrounding circular areas during high-heat finishing processes. Ideal for masking studs or bolts and a circular area around them, typically for grounding area protection. Our silicone flange caps eliminate the need for secondary washers by masking the circular area around the bolt, saving labor time in powder coating and e-coating lines. Alternatively can be used as a plug: The area around a hole can then be masked by the flange. They have also been used successfully as an insulation for wire harnesses (by cutting off the rounded end).
