Henkel: Quality Maskants From a Name You Can Trust
Henkel provides a select line of maskants that protect aluminum surfaces from acid-based etchants during the chemical milling process. Both solvent-based and polyurethane-based two-component maskants are available.
The Turco® Advantage
Henkel’s line of Turco brand maskants are used primarily in the aerospace industry, as this process is uniquely suited for allowing aircraft manufacturers to mill small amounts of metal from larger parts, thus reducing weight while maintaining strength on aluminum parts.
Henkel’s Maskants also protect metal in areas not exposed to the harsh chemical milling solutions. The company’s products are designed for complete protection from undercutting and are easily removed after the chemical milling operation is complete. Plus, Henkel supplies a related line of cleaners and deoxidizers, so manufacturers can obtain everything they need from one convenient, reliable source.
Safety and Convenience
Always looking for a better way, Henkel has developed a new line of two-component maskants dispensed via automated equipment for improved performance. The Turco brand 6914G/6915 is Henkel’s leading two-component maskant based on novel polyurethane chemistry. Plus, the removal of solvent-based maskants from the workplace provides increased benefits in health and safety.
