Silicone caps and plugs have long reigned supreme as the masking products of choice in the fields of high temperature painting and powder coating. The ability of the silicone material to function under extreme heat for extended periods of time makes it an ideal choice for these applications. Additionally, their durability extends their life service beyond a single use. Of course, silicone caps and plugs also benefit from the flexible nature of the material that allows them to provide an airtight seal while still being easy to install and remove.
Silicone rubber caps and plugs pose no contamination risk to a coating line. The word silicone should not concern powder coating experts. It is important to note that silicone "lubricants" are liquid based agents that can wreak havoc in a coating facility. Silicone caps and plugs are solid material and can withstand multiple passes through most coating processes.
We also find silicone end caps used extensively in the medical packaging field as silicone is a very pure material that can easily withstand the sterilization temperatures required by this market.
