CAPABILITIES / APPLICATIONS / SURFACE PROTECTION

Surface Protection & Masking

Keep scratches, overspray, and handling damage off finished surfaces. Low-tack foam tapes, adhesive-backed films, and die-cut masking components built for paint booths, assembly lines, and transit.

Recommended Materials

Protective films, foams, and masks

Surface protection is a tolerance and adhesion problem. Pick the wrong PSA and you’ll leave residue; pick the wrong foam and you’ll mar what you’re protecting.

Case Studies

When the surface is the product

Automotive

Class A paint masking residue

ProblemTier-1 supplier’s incumbent masking tape was leaving PSA residue on Class A surfaces after paint cure, requiring a post-paint cleaning step on every body panel.
SolutionHigh-temperature polyimide kiss-cut masks with no-residue PSA, custom shape per panel. PAX delivered cuts on liner for line-side peel-and-place.
MaterialsPolyimide film · high-temp no-residue PSA · kiss-cut on liner
✓Zero rework on 200K vehicles
Display Manufacturing

OLED glass micro-scratch defects

ProblemHigh-end TV manufacturer seeing micro-scratches on OLED glass during enclosure assembly, with rejection rate at 2–3% on premium panels.
SolutionMicrofiber-faced PE foam pads die-cut to assembly tooling geometry, PSA-backed for pick-and-place feed. Cleanroom-compatible packaging.
MaterialsPE foam + microfiber laminate · cleanroom PSA · auto-feed reel
✓Scratch defects −98%
