Paint Strippers
Over time, coating buildup accumulates on racks painted alongside parts in coating lines. These accumulations can impair electrical conductivity and compromise consistent coating quality. Paint stripping chemicals are utilized to clean paint racks and prepare rejected metal parts for reprocessing.
At MFI Makina Kimya, we deliver paint stripping solutions tailored to the metal substrate, paint chemistry, and operational plant conditions. Cold-working solvent-based and hot-working alkaline product options are evaluated according to specific application requirements.
Formulations operate through distinct mechanisms, either stripping paint by delamination (flaking) or by dissolving it. Selecting the appropriate product requires a comprehensive assessment of stripping duration, chemical consumption, bath maintenance, and subsequent surface preparation.
Applications and Areas of Use
The Correct Approach to Paint Stripping
An efficient paint stripping process depends not only on stripping efficiency, but also on substrate compatibility and bath operating parameters. We select products and application methods by assessing the existing coating alongside target surface preparation standards.
Cold-Working Systems
Solvent-based paint strippers offer a cold-working alternative for compatible processes. Volatility, ventilation, and product loss must be evaluated within the context of plant operating conditions.
Hot-Working Systems
Alkaline paint strippers operate at temperatures specified by the product's technical parameters. Operating temperature and concentration are defined according to paint characteristics and metal metallurgy.
Mechanism of Action Matched to the Paint
Formulations that remove paint through delamination or complete dissolution address differing process requirements. The selection balances stripping cycle time, chemical consumption, and bath maintenance.
Preparation for Downstream Processing
Surface condition is inspected following the stripping cycle. Rinsing, drying, and surface preparation steps prior to recoating are engineered according to the selected chemistry and production workflow.
Our Application Process
Beginning with a technical assessment of the paint and substrate, we collaboratively plan product selection, application parameters, and post-treatment surface preparation.
Paint and Substrate Analysis
Metal alloy, paint chemistry, film thickness, and overall component condition are evaluated.
Product and Method Selection
Cold solvent-based or hot alkaline formulations are evaluated based on coating chemistry and line specifications.
Determination of Operating Conditions
Contact time, temperature, and concentration are established based on current technical data and empirical line assessments.
Surface Inspection and Preparation
Stripping efficacy is inspected; rinsing, drying, and pre-paint preparation steps are scheduled.
