Critical bores must stay clean
Review tapered plug fit against actual bore diameters and process exposure.
Protect critical dimensions
Plating Masking
Start with chemistry and geometry, then validate the material and fit against the intended plating process before bulk ordering.
Process problem to product path
External threads need protection
Select caps by outside diameter and usable depth.
A stop-off zone needs a clean edge
Review tape or face-masking geometry for the required boundary.
A standard part does not fit
Use drawing-based custom review after standard options are screened.

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
- Plating process and chemistry
- Bore or thread size
- Exposure time
- Required no-plate area
- Quantity and drawing
Frequently asked questions
Can the masking material be chosen without the plating process?
No. Chemistry and exposure time are important inputs for a meaningful material recommendation.
How do I protect a critical bore?
Provide the bore diameter, depth, tolerance sensitivity and process details so a sample fit can be considered.
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.
