In-House Chemical Paint Removal – the Ideal Choice for Hook and Rack Cleaning
A necessary inconvenience of all paint applications is the requirement to remove cured paint from part racks, hooks and fixtures. Ensuring proper contact between the part and fixture is paramount in achieving a quality paint finish. Traditionally, this paint removal is achieved by one of three methods: mechanical, thermal or chemical. Due to the hazards of these methods, paint applicators often outsource their paint removal demands. This presentation will explore how safe, economical and sustainable in-house paint removal can be achieved.
