Product Capabilities & Performance
Chemical Milling, Etching & Pickling
Protectapeel Etchprotect 284/6 is a temporary peelable maskant designed for use during chemical milling, etching and pickling processes. Used and trusted worldwide since 1992, we have supplied maskants to companies such as Standex, Mold Tech, GKN and BAE.
Formulated to withstand aggressive chemical environments, Protectapeel provides a durable barrier that protects selected areas of metal components during material removal processes. This ensures precise etching while maintaining clean, defined edges and protecting critical surfaces from unwanted exposure. The coating adheres strongly to a wide range of metal substrates, including aluminium, stainless steel and specialist alloys commonly used in aerospace, engineering and precision manufacturing.
Protectapeel can be easily applied by spray, brush or roller to suit different production environments and component geometries. Once cured, the coating forms a flexible, uniform film that resists the chemicals used in milling and etching operations while remaining simple to remove by hand when the process is complete. The peelable nature of the product eliminates the need for harsh stripping methods and helps maintain the integrity of the underlying surface.
By providing reliable masking performance and straightforward removal, Protectapeel helps manufacturers improve process efficiency, reduce preparation time and minimise costly rework. Its versatility and proven performance make it a trusted solution for protecting critical components during precision chemical processing.

Protectapeel is designed to protect surfaces from costly damage during manufacturing, construction, storage, and transportation. It helps minimise delays caused by repairs or replacements and reduces cleaning costs.
Simply peel it off from one edge. It comes off in one piece, leaving no residue or damage to the surface.
Yes, Protectapeel can be applied to non-porous door and window frames to protect from damage caused by scratching, plaster, or weather exposure. Before full application, you must always apply the Protectapeel product to a small test area to test the substrate’s suitability. You must ensure that all substrates are well covered. Allow the product to dry for 48 hours, and then check that the Protectapeel product will peel away from each substrate.
