Our industrial paint stripping solutions are built on real-world, practitioner-tested experience, delivering reliable performance for high-volume operations across sectors such as alloy wheel refurbishment, powder coating removal, and general industrial finishing.
Many businesses transitioning from traditional cold stripping methods to modern hot stripping systems encounter unexpected challenges. While cold stripping offers a simple, fast-acting process—load, strip, remove residue, and top up chemicals—hot stripping requires a more controlled and managed approach.
Hot stripping systems demand ongoing attention to maintain optimal performance. This includes regular monitoring, chemical balance adjustments, and planned maintenance routines. Without these, efficiency can quickly decline.
To achieve consistent results with hot stripping, businesses must implement:
This structured approach ensures your stripping system continues to operate at peak efficiency over time.
A common misconception when switching to hot stripping is around speed. Cold stripping solutions are known for their rapid action but typically rely on highly hazardous chemicals, requiring stringent health and safety controls.
Hot stripping solutions, by comparison, are formulated to significantly reduce risk—particularly through the removal of substances such as dichloromethane (DCM). While still requiring careful handling, they offer a safer working environment for operators.
Stripping times with hot systems generally average around 4 hours. Some coatings may be removed in as little as 2 hours, while more resilient finishes may require extended immersion, including overnight processing. Adjusting expectations is key: the process may take longer, but it delivers safer, consistent, and high-quality results.
We understand that no two operations are the same. Both cold and hot stripping systems have their place depending on production demands, compliance requirements, and operational priorities.
Our team provides ongoing technical support to ensure your system performs at its best, including:
Having implemented and run these systems ourselves, we offer a level of expertise grounded in hands-on experience—not just theory.
Our solutions are designed to balance performance, safety, and operational efficiency. By combining advanced chemical formulations with expert support, we help businesses successfully transition, optimise their processes, and maintain consistent, high-quality stripping results at scale.
