The Challenge in Immersion Treatments
Processes such as chrome plating, cataphoresis, blackening, and other galvanic and immersion treatments often encounter issues related to liquids seeping inside holes. Even the smallest micro-irregularities in the hole or plug can allow liquid to penetrate, compromising the part and increasing production times and costs.
Thanks to continuous research and development, Finishing Group now offers an effective solution to this problem.
The New Expandable Silicone Plug
We have developed an innovative silicone plug specifically designed to provide uncompromised watertight sealing, even for the most complex treatments.
How Does It Work?
Our silicone plug utilizes a simple yet ingenious expansion mechanism:
Once inserted into the hole you want to protect, the plug is fastened and sealed using a bolt-and-nut system that compresses the silicone, causing it to expand it's width and adapt perfectly to the hole's profile.
This process ensures a secure, waterproof seal, eliminating the risk of liquid infiltration.
Additionally, the plug is reusable multiple times, making it a cost-effective and sustainable investment.
