Utilizing our in-house engineering expertise, we designed, built, molded, and assembled the injection-molded paint masks. Usually, the parts were designed from a sample shock absorber. The final product met tolerances as low as .005 of an inch or tighter. Assembly included metal clips and springs. All secondary operations were completed at Bermar Associates.
Constructed from polyphenylene oxide material, each paint mask measured anywhere between 2 – 13.5 inches in length, 1 -2.5 inches in width, and 1 – 2 inches in height. The product weighed between 40 – 300 grams, depending on the mask size. We lightly sandblasted the mold with 400 – 600 grit material for a matte-surface finish. The molds contained one cavity each of both the male and female ends. Certain models featured spring-loaded parts with expansion and contraction capabilities.
Once assured from a test sample that the masks fulfilled all client product requirements, we then packaged the finished items in selected cartons and shipped these components to various customer-designated global locations within a specified delivery time.
Successfully meeting ISO per print requirements, we now produce 500 – 10,000 paint masks annually per order for our automotive clients.
