UHPAB decoating

UHPAB decoating refers to an advanced process used in the industry for the removal of coatings. The abbreviation "UHPAB" stands for "Ultra-High Pressure Abrasive Blasting". This coating removal process is based on the use of extremely high pressure and abrasive materials to remove coatings from surfaces.

The principle of UHPAB decoating lies in the use of abrasive particles, which are shot at the coating to be removed at a pressure of several thousand bar. This high pressure, combined with the abrasive materials, enables effective removal of paint, varnish, rust or other coatings from various surfaces, including metal, concrete or wood.

The advantages of UHPAB decoating lie in its ability to remove even stubborn or thick coatings without damaging the substrate surface. By precisely controlling the pressure and selecting suitable abrasive materials, decoating can be adapted to different requirements and materials.

UHPAB decoating is used in various industries, including ship and bridge maintenance, aircraft maintenance and the oil and gas industry. This method enables efficient and thorough removal of coatings, preparing substrates for further processing steps.
