Pyrolysis

Pyrolysis is a process in surface technology that is used to remove organic coatings or soiling from surfaces. The process of pyrolysis involves the thermal decomposition of organic materials by heating them to high temperatures in a controlled environment, typically in an oven or pyrolysis chamber.

During the pyrolysis process, organic substances such as paints, varnishes, adhesives or protective coatings are broken down into their components by the effect of heat. This leads to the evaporation or decomposition of the organic compounds, producing volatile substances such as gases and vapors and leaving behind solid residues such as soot or ash.

Pyrolysis is often used in surface technology to clean or remove paint from coated or contaminated surfaces before a new coating is applied. The process enables the efficient removal of old coatings or soiling without damaging the substrate surface.

An important advantage of pyrolysis is that it is an environmentally friendly method of cleaning surfaces, as it does not use chemical solvents or abrasive processes. In addition, the control of the process temperature enables precise adaptation to the specific requirements of the surface to be treated.

Overall, pyrolysis is a versatile process in surface technology that offers an effective and environmentally friendly solution for removing organic coatings or soiling. By precisely controlling the process parameters, gentle cleaning or paint stripping of surfaces can be achieved without damaging the substrate surface.
