First Thread Protection Plugs

First Thread Protection Plugs are used to provide masking to the first thread of standard female threads. They feature an ergonomic pull-tab that allows for simple installation and removal.

Suitable for a range of masking applications that include; powder coating. e-coating, plating and anodizing.

The range is available in different material options. Silicone is a premium masking material due to its high temperature rating. EPDM is an economical material with lower heat resistance, but superior chemical resistance. Both material options can be used multiple times.

Materials: Silicone 600F (316C) and EPDM 425F (218C)Colors: Natural and BlackHardness: Durometer (Shore A) 50+5

High-Temperature Tapered Plugs

Our range of High Temperature Masking Plugs are available as a solid plug or with a hollow core. These reusable tapered plugs are available as either a premium Silicone Plug or as a cost-effective EPDM plug.

The Hollow Tapered Plugs provide an economical solution for large diameter holes. The hollow center aids compression for improved sealing.

Silicone Tapered Plugs are a premium option due to the high temperature rating of 600F (316C). High Temp Silicone Plugs can be used multiple times. Hardness; Durometer (Shore A) 55+5. Various colour options are available, including; Natural, Blue, Green, Grey, Pink, Purple, Red and Yellow.

The Black EPDM tapered plug is an economical material has a slightly reduced heat resistance with a high temperature rating of 435F (218C), but boasts superior chemical resistance.

  • Suitable applications include; Powder Coating, E-Coating, Plating and Anodizing.

Masking Cones

Masking Cone Plugs are a versatile masking solution that can be used as a plug or as a cap. The tapered design allows the part to plug a range of inside diameter sizes and to cap a range of outside diameter sizes. These plugs are ideal for a range of masking applications, including; powder coating, e-coating, plating and anodizing.

The range is available in a choice of materials that include premium Silicone and economical EPDM. Silicone benefits from a high temperature rating and can be used multiple times. EPDM is also reusable with a lower heat resistance, but superior chemical resistance.

  • Materials: Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer (EPDM) and Silicone Rubber
  • Colors: Black and Natural

Masking Flangeless Plugs

Masking Flangeless plugs are designed to mask holes without masking the surrounding surface area. The tapered design allows mulitple hole diameters to be protected. Ergonomically friendly profile has a pull-tab for easy installation and removal. These come in a premium high-temp silicone material or in a economical reduced temp EPDM material. Applications include Powder Coating, E-Coating, Plating and Anodizing.

Masking Pull Plugs

Masking Pull plugs are ideal for masking threaded and plain through-holes. To apply, just pull the thinner end of the plug through the hole until it stretches the larger end through the hole; then release it so it will compress and make a tight seal. Use the Flanged Pull plugs to mask the backside of the hole. These come in a premium high-temp silicone material or in an economical reduced temp EPDM material. Applications include Powder Coating, E-Coating, Plating and Anodizing.

Multi-Flange Plugs

Multi-Flanged Plugs are designed to mask plain or threaded holes. Part will mask off the hole while allowing paint up to the hole. Will fit a range of holes due to the flexible multi sized flange design.

Paper Masking Plugs

Paper Masking plugs are made from a blend of post consumer and virgin paper that can be recycled. They are an economical solution to mask holes and paper will not promote condensation. Can be used in painting or lower temperature powder coating applications.

Parallel Protection Plugs

Parallel Protection plugs for masking are made from a TPE material that is highly resistant to shredding and ideal for threaded applications. Also, this material has a good resistance to acids often used to remove rust from metal before any type of painting or powder coating operation is performed.

Tapered Caps & Plugs - High Temp

These high temperature Tapered Caps & Plugs are typically used for threaded or unthreaded studs or holes.
They offer all the versatility of Essentra's traditional tapered polyethylene parts with the higher temperature and corrosion resistance properties of silicone material.
