Flame Spray Tapes

Flame Spray coatings, (combustion coatings) are a very basic form of thermal spray coating. Because of the relatively low heat and abrasion, coatings are often applied with hand-held spray guns in an open shop setting rather than within a spray booth. Many Green Belting Industries masking materials are well-suited from this process. Masking strategies should contemplate materials that are capable of withstanding both the grit blast and flame spray coating process in order to save time and reduce cost. 

Green Belting masking tapes are engineered to meet the demands of a wide range of thermal spray coating processes, including flame spray. They offer superior performance due to the following attributes:

  • Abrasion Resistance - The types of coatings and thicknesses used are engineered to resist the abrasive forces of both the grit blast and flame spray coating processes. Green Belting tapes can be applied once for both grit blasting and flame spray coatings.
  • Strong Adhesion of Tapes - Masking tapes exhibit high adhesion to metal and to themselves (to prevent flagging).
  • Resistance to Heat Transfer - From the substrate to the coatings and adhesives, Green Belting masking materials are engineered to resist the extreme temperatures of thermal spray coating processes including flame spray.
  • Highly Conformable - Green Belting tapes are easy to work with and conform well to surface contours in more complex masking applications.
  • Clean Release - Despite high adhesion, the tapes are designed to remove cleanly with no adhesive residue.
