• When Standard Parts Are Not Enough

    Standard silicone plugs and caps cover the majority of masking tasks. Non-standard bore geometries, complex multi-surface parts, and high-volume lines where manual adjustment accumulates quickly are where standard parts fall short, and where custom silicone components pay for themselves.

    Custom-moulded parts are manufactured to your exact geometry from drawing, CAD files, or physical samples.

    The resulting product fits without adjustment, seals without leakage, and releases cleanly after every cycle, eliminating the rework and coating defects that come from forcing a standard part into a non-standard application.

  • Fast Development. Low Tooling Cost.

    Component design in 48 hours. Production parts in 3 to 4 weeks.
    Our development process is built for efficiency. Streamlined tooling workflows and in-house design capability mean we move from drawing to qualified part faster, at a fraction of typical tooling costs.

    Tooling is a one-time investment held at no charge for the lifetime of your project. Once your mould is cut, per-piece costs are a fraction of equivalent manual masking labour per cycle.

    Before committing to series tooling, qualification samples let you validate fit and process performance in your actual production environment, with no obligation to proceed.

    All components are rated to 250°C / 480°F, manufactured to ±0.1 mm dimensional accuracy, and produced from chemically stable, high-purity silicone.

From Drawing to Delivered: How It Works

Step 1

Application Review

We review your drawing, part sample, or specification. The review covers the feature to be masked or protected, the process type, temperature exposure, chemical environment, and the required masking zone. Based on this, we propose a component concept.

Step 2

Concept Development

Based on the application review, we define the component geometry, silicone grade, sealing approach and insertion and removal features. In doing so we consider application environment, compression behaviour, reusability, and and any special requirements such as venting, colour coding, or ergonomic handling features.

Step 3 (optional)

Qualification Parts

Prototype or qualification parts are produced for fit, handling, and process validation. This step confirms that the component performs correctly in the actual production environment before series tooling or supply is committed. Qualification parts are available within approximately 14 days from drawing approval.

Step 4

Production Supply

Following successful qualification, the component moves to repeatable series production. Documentation, part identification, and ongoing availability are managed to support production continuity. Minimum order quantities are kept low to support both pilot production and series supply. Development and production of the series tooling takes 3-4 weeks, a batch production run 2-3 days.

Engineering Criteria

Engineered around the variables that decide your process performance

High Temperature Reliability

Silicone is selected for its thermal stability and compatibility with a wide range of chemical environments.

Material grade and geometry are specified for the actual process temperature and exposure duration; from short-cycle powder coating to extended dipping or immersion processes.

Compression, Sealing & Fit

The component is designed for controlled compression, reliable insertion, and clean removal.

Sealing performance is determined by geometry, wall thickness, and material hardness, not only by dimensional fit.

Dimensional Tolerance & Critical Surfaces

Masking geometry is engineered around drawing dimensions, tolerances, and the exact boundaries of the critical surface.

The protected zone is defined before the component geometry is finalised.

Insertion, Removal & Operator Ergonomics

Handles, tethers, pull tabs, and ergonomic features can significantly reduce operator time per part.

Insertion and removal speed is considered during the design phase, especially for high-volume production.

Venting & Pressure Relief

In e-coating and other dipped or immersion processes, pressure build-up inside sealed cavities can cause plug blowout or coating defects.

Venting or pressure-relief features can be incorporated where process conditions require them.

Color Coding & Visual Identification

Optional colour coding by silicone compound or geometry differentiation helps production teams identify the correct masking component for each feature, reducing misapplication risk on high-mix or multi-variant lines.
