Laser Paint Removal
Laser cleaning provides a safe and efficient way to remove hazardous coatings from targeted areas on ships, planes, vehicles, and equipment — without having to resort to the time-consuming process of setting up environmental protections and personal protective equipment. All that is required is the laser, laser safety curtains, and safety glasses.
In addition to easy setup and operation, clean-up and waste disposal for our lasers only requires a small vacuum of the floor and abatement of the filter. Otherwise, the part is clean and immediately ready for the next steps.
How laser paint removal works?
Laser ablation works by sending nanosecond laser pulses into a surface, creating shockwaves that eject contaminants or turn them into gas. Laser cleaning can effectively clean the target surface without harming any substrate layers or surrounding material. We’ll help you find and calibrate the cleaning laser in order to optimise it to your cleaning needs.
Hazardous Paint Removal
Paints and coatings for heavy duty applications are often fortified with toxic materials such as chromate primers, lead, and asbestos in order to ensure the highest degree of corrosion resistance and durability. Cleaning equipment with hazardous coatings, therefore, can be a dangerous task. Fortunately, laser ablation provides a safe and environmentally friendly way to remove hazardous paint and minimize any secondary contamination.
