About MACHBLOC™ HVOF Masking Compound

MACHBLOC™ HVOF masking compound was developed to withstand the rigors of the HVOF plasma spray environment.  MACHBLOC™, in the uncured state, is a soft, conformable putty-like material. MACHBLOC™ is great for masking holes, grooves, key slots or any unique configuration for both plasma spray and HVOF processes.  Once cured MACHBLOC™ becomes a strong, abrasion-resistant mask allowing users to take full advantage of HVOF coating technology.

MACHBLOC™ features include:

• Extruded profiles easily fill holes, grooves etc.
• MACHBLOC™ is instant, flexible, and economical, allowing for quick turnarounds on small or large runs.
• Halogen & chloride free for aviation applications.
