Chemeon Surface Technology (Minden, NV),  a global leader in advanced, environmentally responsible surface engineering solutions for corrosion protection and adhesion, has been approved by the Small Business Association (SBA) for HUBZone certification. The Historically Under-utilized Business Zones (HUBZone) certification program provides small businesses preferential consideration for federal procurement opportunities and contracts. The program also encourages agencies to spend a given percentage of their budgets with businesses located in rural or urban communities, providing opportunities for regional economic growth.

The certification also recognizes Chemeon as a vital small business, government contractor, and teaming partner to the aerospace and defense industry, prime contractors, top-tier metal finishers, and process shops.

    Masking is employed in most any metal finishing operation where only a specifically defined area of the surface of a part must be exposed to a process. Conversely, masking may be employed on a surface where treatment is either not required or must be avoided. This article covers the many aspects of masking for metal finishing, including applications, methods and the various types of masking employed.
