CAPLUGS
Frequently asked questions
Common questions about CAPLUGS from 3G Electric.
What are the temperature ratings for Caplugs masking tapes?
Caplugs masking tapes, such as the KD11 SH series, use an acrylic adhesive on a crepe paper backing. While specific temperature ratings vary by product, acrylic adhesives generally offer better heat resistance than rubber-based adhesives. For exact temperature limits, refer to the individual product datasheet. The tapes are designed for industrial painting and powder coating applications where elevated temperatures may be encountered. Always verify compatibility with your process conditions.
What is the maximum hose pressure rating for Caplugs webbed restraints?
Caplugs webbed restraints, including the SA-STBF and SA-STDL series, are rated for a maximum hose pressure of 7,250 psi. This rating applies to the restraint's ability to contain a whipping hose in the event of a coupling failure. The restraints are available for hose sizes from 3/4 inch up to 2 inches. Selection depends on hose diameter and whether a hose-to-surface or hose-to-hose configuration is needed.
Are Caplugs masking tape discs available in custom sizes?
The Caplugs EZ SH paper tape discs are supplied in a standard 6-inch diameter. Custom sizes may be available upon request, but the standard catalog item is 6 inches. These discs are pre-cut for convenience and are made from acrylic-coated crepe paper. They are intended for paint masking applications where clean lines and surface protection are required. For non-standard sizes, contact 3G Electric to inquire about availability.
What materials are used in Caplugs webbed restraints?
Caplugs webbed restraints are made from polyester webbing. This material offers high tensile strength and resistance to abrasion and environmental factors. The restraints feature either bolt-fix eyes for hose-to-surface mounting or double-loop eyes for hose-to-hose connections. The polyester construction is suitable for industrial environments where hydraulic hoses are used. The restraints are designed to be durable and reliable for safety applications.
Can Caplugs masking tapes be used for powder coating?
Yes, Caplugs high-performance masking tapes are designed for industrial painting and powder coating. The acrylic adhesive and crepe paper backing provide clean removal after the coating process. The tapes can withstand the elevated temperatures typical of powder coating ovens, although exact temperature limits should be confirmed with the product datasheet. They are available in roll form, such as the 1/2-inch by 60-yard roll, and in pre-cut discs.
