Chemical Milling, Etching & Pickling

Protectapeel Etchprotect 284/6 is a temporary peelable maskant designed for  use during chemical milling, etching and pickling processes.  Used and trusted worldwide since 1992, we have supplied maskants to companies such as Standex, Mold Tech, GKN and  BAE. 

Formulated to withstand aggressive chemical environments,  Protectapeel provides a durable barrier that protects  selected areas of metal components during material removal  processes. This ensures precise etching while maintaining  clean, defined edges and protecting critical surfaces from  unwanted exposure. The coating adheres strongly to a wide  range of metal substrates, including aluminium, stainless  steel and specialist alloys commonly used in aerospace,  engineering and precision manufacturing. 

Protectapeel can be easily applied by spray, brush or roller  to suit different production environments and component  geometries. Once cured, the coating forms a flexible, uniform  film that resists the chemicals used in milling and etching  operations while remaining simple to remove by hand when  the process is complete. The peelable nature of the product  eliminates the need for harsh stripping methods and helps  maintain the integrity of the underlying surface. 

By providing reliable masking performance and  straightforward removal, Protectapeel helps manufacturers  improve process efficiency, reduce preparation time and  minimise costly rework. Its versatility and proven performance  make it a trusted solution for protecting critical components  during precision chemical processing.

service related FAQ’s

How does Protectapeel compare to other protection materials?2026-04-08T12:30:49+00:00

Protectapeel offers significant advantages over traditional protective films and boards by drastically reducing labour during application and removal. Unlike films that can lose adhesion or boards that shift out of place, Protectapeel adheres securely to surfaces, ensuring consistent protection for up to 12 months.

Additionally, Protectapeel’s effective barrier minimises cleaning costs by shielding surfaces from dirt, dust, and debris. These combined benefits make it a far more cost-effective and reliable solution for construction projects.

How do you protect glass during construction?2026-04-08T12:22:53+00:00

Protectapeel provides a peelable coating that protects glass from scratches, dirt, and damage during construction. It is easily applied using an airless spray gun, reducing labour requirements on-site. Once the project is complete, the coating can be effortlessly peeled away, leaving the glass clean and undamaged.

Can door and window frames be protected during construction?2026-04-08T12:23:50+00:00

Yes, Protectapeel can be applied to non-porous door and window frames to protect from damage caused by scratching, plaster, or weather exposure. Before full application, you must always apply the Protectapeel product to a small test area to test the substrate’s suitability. You must ensure that all substrates are well covered. Allow the product to dry for 48 hours, and then check that the Protectapeel product will peel away from each substrate.

How is Protectapeel applied?2026-04-08T11:51:58+00:00

Protectapeel is applied using an airless spray gun, eliminating the need for measuring or cutting to size (if you used protective film or board). It is quickly applied taking just 49 seconds per m².

Does Protectapeel require any special equipment to apply?2026-04-08T11:53:53+00:00

Protectapeel is applied using an airless spray gun. For optimal results, we recommend using the Graco 390. If needed, spray guns are also available for rent directly from us.
