Thermal paint stripping

Thermal paint stripping is a process used in various industrial applications to remove paints, coatings and organic materials from surfaces. This method is based on the application of high temperatures to weaken or break the bonds between the surface and the paint or coating layer.

In a typical thermal paint stripping process, the component or material to be removed is heated to temperatures sufficient to decompose or vaporize the organic components of the paint or coating layer. This temperature can vary depending on the type of coating and substrate.

Thermal paint stripping offers several advantages, including the ability to remove different types of coatings, regardless of their composition. It is particularly effective in removing multi-layered or stubborn coatings. In addition, thermal paint stripping allows the surface to be cleaned without using abrasive materials or chemical solutions.

It is important to monitor the process carefully to avoid overheating and possible damage to the substrate. Thermal paint stripping is used in various industries, including automotive, metalworking and aerospace, to prepare components before recoating or to remove old coatings.
