epoxy e-coat thread masking
epoxy e-coat thread masking
(OP)
I am looking for a suitable material to use for masking the threads of a nut that is welded to a part that is to be epoxy e-coated. We do not want to use a silicon plug to mask the threads, but wish to have a chemical paint release agent applied by the nut manufacturer. The service doing my e-coating is concerned about contaminating their cleaning bath solutions with anything we might use. Is a suitable release agent available?

Are you asking if fluorocarbon thread masking will prevent powder coat adhesion to threaded fasteners? Yes, it can help prevent this.
