Applications of Thermal Spray Tapes
Thermal spray tapes mask off areas that must remain clean and coating-free during abrasive grit blasting. Their high abrasion resistance protects adjacent surfaces without tearing or shifting.
Flame & Arc Spray Processes
Tapes are used to mask, shield, and protect parts during combustion or electric arc spraying, withstanding intense heat and mechanical force from molten metal particles.
In plasma spraying, molten particles are applied at high temperatures. Thermal spray tapes shield non-coated sections from heat and overspray while maintaining clean, crisp edge lines.
High-Temperature Masking in Aerospace & Turbine Components
Aerospace parts such as jet engine blades, housings, and combustion chambers require precise coating zones. Thermal spray tapes maintain dimensional stability under heat and pressure.
Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
What is thermal spray tape used for?
Thermal spray tape is used to mask and protect surfaces during high-temperature coating processes like plasma spray, HVOF, and grit blasting. It prevents overspray and maintains clean edges on parts that require precise coatings.
What makes thermal spray tape different from regular high-temperature tape?
Unlike standard high-temp tapes, thermal spray tapes are designed to withstand abrasion, molten particle impact, and direct flame or arc exposure. They’re built with durable backings (like glass cloth) and high-strength silicone adhesives for clean removal.
Can thermal spray tape handle grit blasting?
Yes. Most thermal spray tapes—especially double-ply glass cloth or reinforced silicone rubber types—are engineered to resist the high-pressure abrasive impact of grit blasting and maintain surface integrity.
Will thermal spray tape leave adhesive residue?
No. Quality thermal spray tapes use high-temperature silicone adhesives that offer secure adhesion during coating but remove cleanly without leaving residue on metal or composite surfaces.
