Coatings Removal

Coatings removal covers paints, epoxies, linings, and other films on many substrates. The method is chosen based on thickness, adhesion, and substrate tolerance.

Common methods

• UHP water jetting: Rapidly removes thick and high-performance coatings from steel and concrete.

• Soda blasting: Strips paint and lighter coatings from metal, masonry, and wood with controlled aggression.

• Sponge blasting: Provides adjustable profile and low dust for coating removal in occupied or sensitive areas.

• Chemical stripping: Dissolves or softens coatings, allowing removal without heavy abrasion.

• Induction stripping: Heats coatings on steel so they release cleanly in large sections.

• Laser cleaning: Precisely removes coatings from targeted areas on metals and specialty surfaces.

Typical applications

• Removing old paint and linings from tanks, vessels, and pipelines.

• Stripping floor coatings, adhesives, and sealers from concrete.

• Coating removal on structural steel, bridges, and industrial structures.

• Selective removal around welds, repairs, or inspection areas.

• Paint removal in auto, aerospace, and marine restoration.
