Applications & Benefits


 

Applications

Aircraft Paint Removal

Removes most types of paint from typical aircraft substrates, while leaving anodized and alclad surfaces inact. Is employed on a wide variety of off-aircraft components - resulting in significant savings over chemicals.

ship hulls

Boats

Bottom paint stripping for aluminum, fiberglass, and dense hardwood hulls. Rapid removal of dried barnacles. Clean brass oxides and other coatings. Detects and exposes blisters on fiberglass hulls.

Burr Removal

Removes light burrs from components while maintaining integrity of finished part.

 

Clear Epoxy Optical Sensors

The only media capable of removing resin bleed without opaquing surface. Eliminates individual time-consuming masking requirements.

 

Composite Structures

Can strip paint and surface coatings from fiberglass, carbon-graphite, epoxy, and other resin rich components without bloom or fiber damage.

Die Casting

Removes light flash from cast components without affecting critical surface dimensions.

 

Electronics Deflashing

Used both in dry and wet blast to remove flash from electronic components and for surface preparation on PCB's.

Encapsulated Electronic Parts

Will not damage delicate parts or mar surfaces. Leaves product surface smear free, ready for identification printing or soldering.

Surface Preparation

Etching circuit boards before printing. Pre-laminate roughening. Prepaint surface prep on plastics.

Ground Vehicle Paint Removal

Paint is readily removed from auto, truck, railcar, and bus bodies.

Mold Cleaning

Readily cleans molds used in rubber, plastic, glass, and die cast molding without affecting surface dimensions. Edges are not radiused, mold life is prolonged, cracks in molds are not smeared over, and flash on parts is reduced.

Paint Rejects

Can be substituted for chemical stripping. In many applications, major time savings can be realized. Effective on most paint systems including powder coating.

Engine Components

Carbon deposits and paint can be easily dry stripped with no wear to critical mechanical dimensions, including aluminum parts.

 

Plastic Molded Parts

Effectively removes flash from parting lines on thermoset plastic parts. Removes surface anomalies without damage to the part.

Surface Sealants

Tenacious sealants and adhesives can be safely removed without damage to the substrate.

Lead Frames

Prepares lead for easier and more uniform tinning and coating procedures. Removes resin bleed without impinging surface.
