Material selection
Silicone vs EPDM Masking
Material choice should follow the actual process and validation outcome, not a generic material preference.
Start with the process
Temperature, chemistry and exposure time determine what material families should be evaluated.
Include geometry and handling
A material that fits the environment still has to seal, remove and survive the required workflow.
Confirm on samples
Use an application trial before setting a material standard for a production program.
