An industrial paint stripper removes paint, powder coating, varnish and organic coatings from parts, hangers, moulds and equipment by softening or dissolving the film — especially useful on complex or delicate parts where blasting is difficult.
Types
- Solvent-based: fast-acting; needs ventilation and fire precautions.
- Alkaline: usually hot immersion baths; effective on powder and stoved coatings (choose carefully for aluminium and zinc).
- Gel: thixotropic, stays on vertical surfaces for local stripping.
Steps
Test on a small area, apply, remove the softened film, rinse, neutralise and protect if needed, and dispose of waste according to regulations. Always read the safety data sheet and wear suitable PPE.
