With so many solutions available for protecting your application at any – or all – stages of your product’s journey, including manufacturing, masking, transportation, storage and end use, it can be hard to know where to start.

Not every general protection product is suited for every application. Materials play a critical role. For instance, you wouldn’t use a stud bolt protection cap as a high-temperature masking solution.

For starters, they’re made of Low Density Polyethylene, which can’t stand up to high temperatures, but provides excellent performance for a basic application, such as for storage and transportation.

To help you select the right caps and plugs for your application, Essentra Components have put together this ultimate guide that you can download for free here:
