Description
The Dymax SpeedMask 708-GEL UV-Curing Masking Resin is a light-curable, peelable gel formulated to protect delicate surfaces during shot peening, grit blasting, plating, and other surface-finishing operations. Engineered for high-precision applications, this clear, thixotropic gel applies easily from a 30 mL MR syringe and cures in seconds under UV/visible light exposure.
Unlike traditional tapes and waxes, SpeedMask 708-GEL offers fast, consistent masking and removes cleanly without leaving residue or contaminants behind. Its solvent-free composition minimizes VOC emissions and supports clean manufacturing environments, making it an ideal choice for aerospace, medical device, and electronics production.
Key Features
• Fast Light-Cure Performance: Cures within seconds under UV/visible light for immediate use.
• Residue-Free Peel Removal: Clean detachment after processing without surface contamination.
• Solvent-Free & Low VOC: Environmentally safe and suitable for cleanroom use.
• Thixotropic Gel Formulation: Stays in place on vertical or complex surfaces during curing.
• Transparent Finish: Allows visual inspection of masked areas before processing.
• Precision Dispensing: Supplied in a 30 mL MR syringe for controlled, consistent application.
• Excellent Surface Protection: Resists abrasion and thermal stress during grit blasting and peening.
• Compatible with UV/Visible Light Systems: Flexible curing options for different production setups.
Applications
• Shot Peening & Grit Blasting: Protects components from surface damage in aerospace and industrial processes.
• Anodizing & Electroplating: Shields select surfaces or threaded holes from chemical exposure.
• Thermal Spray Coating & Painting: Ensures precise masking for high-temperature coating processes.
• Medical Device Manufacturing: Ideal for protecting sensitive geometries and assemblies during cleaning or surface treatment.
• Aerospace Components: Used on turbine blades, housings, and fasteners requiring residue-free masking.
• Electronics Assembly: Temporary protection of solder joints or connector surfaces during reflow or coating.
Benefits
• Increased Productivity: Rapid UV cure replaces slow manual masking methods like tape or wax.
• Enhanced Surface Quality: Eliminates contamination, residue, and cleaning steps post-process.
• Cost-Efficient: Reduces labor time and rework associated with manual masking.
• Environmentally Responsible: Solvent-free and compliant with clean manufacturing standards.
• Precision Masking: Adheres evenly to irregular shapes, holes, and edges without sagging.
• Long-Term Reliability: Proven Dymax formula trusted across aerospace, defense, and medical sectors.
