What is hot bath stripping?

In the industrial sector, professionals can strip supports in a stripping bath where they heat the solution to a controlled temperature. This method speeds up the stripping process as it increases the chemical reactivity of the product, making it easier to loosen and detach coatings (paints, varnishes, lacquers, adhesives, etc.) on various metal supports as well as wood.

What are the benefits of this stripping process?

Stripping a support in a heated stripping bath has many advantages. Indeed, heat increases the chemical reactivity of the solution, allowing for faster removal of unwanted coatings. By reducing the time required for coating stripping, this optimizes the process and thus increases productivity. Additionally, this method, using suitable products such as SCALPIK L400 or DÉCAPEINT, improves the quality of stripping by facilitating the detachment of paints, varnishes, adhesives, etc. Furthermore, the heating of the bath adapts to a wide range of supports.

What types of parts can be stripped in a heated bath?

This process is adaptable to stripping many parts, especially metal parts such as those made of steel, aluminum, cast iron, or copper. These various parts include industrial elements, mechanical equipment, tools, automotive parts, machine parts, etc. Additionally, some wooden parts can also be treated in a heated bath depending on their compatibility with the stripping product. For example, SCALPEX A1 is suitable for stripping wooden supports.
