SpeedMask® is a line of DYMAX light curable temporary masking resins that offer reliable surface protection not available from traditional masking products such as tapes, lacquers and waxes.

SpeedMask light curing maskants are available in several viscosities, which can be quickly applied by syringe or through dipping, spraying or screen printing. Residue-free removal is achieved with peelable, water soluble or burn-off grades. They cure upon exposure to light energy. Compare SpeedMask Resins to traditional maskants...

About SpeedMask Masking Resins

SpeedMask is a line of light curing masking products that are used in surface preparation and finishing operations where a barrier is needed to protect surfaces and cavities. These masking resins offer reliable protection during plating, thermal spray coatings, grit blasting, shot peening, acid stripping, machining and laser drilling.  SpeedMask resins are successfully being used in many industries, including aerospace, power generation, metal finishing, and the manufacturing of orthopaedic implants and medical devices.

Note: SpeedMask light curing resins are sold on a direct basis and through authorized distributors only.

What makes SpeedMask different?
DYMAX SpeedMask resins contain no non-reactive solvents and cure in seconds, providing cost savings through reductions in labor, rework and scrap. They are preferred over traditional masking products such as waxes, tapes and lacquers due to ease of application, superior protection with consistent reliability, and fast cure time.
