P L A S T I Q MASKING & I PROTECTION
U E - F I X AT ONS
The sheet metal workers and sheet metal formers face the
problem of weld spatters or excess of paint which adhere
to the threads.
The most common solution is to mask the threads before welding

or painting. They use caps or special plugs in order to protect
the threads. Another well-known solution consists in cleaning the
threads by re-tapping.
These extra-operations are costly and difficult to apply. It can

happen that the threads become definitively damaged.
An industrial and economic solution exists which we have been

using for many years in the automotive industry:
Our high-speed machines apply on the threads a dry film
(omniMASK®) to prevent weld spatter, electro-deposited paints,
primers or coatings from adhering to the threads.
These treated parts do not need to be thread masked by plugs or
caps nor to be re-tapped.
OmniMASK® : THREAD MASKING AND PROTECTION OF THREADED FASTENERS

OmniMASK® is a thin masking layer which prevents from the
adhesion of weld spatters and paint deposit.
OmniMASK® can be applied on different types of threaded parts
such as: screws, weld and self-clinching studs, weld and self-
clinching nuts…
OmniMASK® is a white FEP Fluoropolymer powder coating which

consists at 98% of Teflon. This dry film enables a better screwing
installation due to its low coefficient of friction.
OmniMASK® is applied by projection of a powder on pre-heated

parts via induction coil.
Designation Diameter Type
The process temperature of OmniMASK® is lower (-50°C)
than equivalent competitive products. Due to its lower melting
temperature, it can be applied on most of the surface plating types. Welding or clinching

The parts are coated at our plant and can then be used without
specific caution. Welding or clinching
