Why Use Professional Metal Stripping (Paint Removal Services)?
Professional metal stripping prepares surfaces for new finishes by creating a clean slate. This ensures superior adhesion and a longer-lasting coating. The process also restores old or rejected parts to like-new condition, saving significant costs associated with replacement. Removing old, peeling coatings enhances operational safety by preventing contamination and equipment malfunctions. Opting for industrial metal stripping is also an eco-friendly choice. It extends the life of metal parts, reducing the need for disposal and minimizing waste. This makes it a responsible and cost-effective solution for industrial operations.
Common Metal Stripping Methods
Removing old coatings from metal parts is important. Different methods work best for different materials and coating types. Each approach carefully cleans the metal surface, preparing it for a new finish:
- Thermal Stripping: Thermal stripping, including our advanced Thermal Fluidized Bed Cleaning, uses high heat to safely burn off unwanted materials from durable metals. This process is highly efficient for removing tough coatings like polyester powder and E-coat.
- Mechanical stripping involves blasting surfaces with abrasive materials. It physically removes rust, scale, and other coatings, preparing the metal for its subsequent use.
