Holes need controlled masking
Review silicone or other suitable material options by diameter and exposure.
Control exposure and contact areas
Anodizing Masking
Anodizing requests need the chemistry, contact-point requirement and actual part geometry before a masking recommendation is useful.
Process problem to product path
Contact points must remain conductive
Use a face-masking approach that preserves the target area where geometry permits.
A clean boundary is required
Review tape or die-cut options against the surface and bath process.
Part geometry is non-standard
Submit a drawing for custom masking feasibility and tooling review.

Sample validation steps
- 01
Test the proposed item on the actual part.
- 02
Run it through the real process sequence.
- 03
Approve a repeat reference only after fit, coverage and removal are checked.
What to include in the RFQ
- Alloy or part surface
- Chemistry/process stages
- Contact-point requirement
- Hole geometry
- Drawing or photo
Frequently asked questions
What details are required for anodizing masking selection?
Provide the process stages, required no-coat area, geometry and any contact-point requirement.
Can I use the same product as powder coating?
Not automatically. Process exposure and required masking performance need to be reviewed first.
Ready to narrow the options?
Send the details that determine fit.
Include your process, product type, diameter, temperature, quantity and drawing, photo or current part number.
