Remove powder coat, epoxy, e-coat, and industrial coatings down to bare substrate with no blast media, no chemical strippers, and no substrate damage. One mobile pass, coating-ready or inspection-ready.
Powder coat, epoxy, and e-coat bond hard to metal. Sandblasting strips them but erodes the base metal, changes tolerances, and embeds media in the surface. On machined parts and thin sheet, that dimensional loss fails inspection.
Chemical strippers soften coatings but generate hazardous liquid waste, require long dwell times, and leave residue that ruins adhesion of the next coating. Disposal manifests and VOC exposure add cost and liability.
Multi-layer coatings hide corrosion, weld defects, and cracks. Inspectors need a clean substrate to certify the part. Slow manual stripping delays the line and inflates labor cost.
Strip one coating layer at a time or go straight to bare metal. Pulse parameters control depth to the micron for failure analysis and inspection prep.
The laser ablates the coating, not the metal. No erosion, no pitting, no dimensional change. Machined and thin-gauge parts pass inspection.
No chemical strippers, no blast media. The removed coating is captured as dry dust in a HEPA cartridge. No liquid waste manifests, no VOC exposure.
Our pulsed fiber laser tunes to the coating absorption layer and ablates it in nanosecond bursts. The coating vaporizes into dust captured by HEPA filtration. The metal underneath reflects the energy and stays dimensionally intact.
We set pulse frequency, power, and scan speed per coating type and thickness. A single layer of e-coat strips at a different rate than four layers of industrial epoxy. We strip selectively, one layer at a time when failure analysis requires it.
The result is a bare, dry, residue-free surface ready for re-coating, welding, bonding, or NDT inspection. No rinse, no dry time, no media to sweep up.
Powder coat, epoxy, e-coat, urethane, primer, and most industrial and architectural coatings on metal. Removal rate depends on coating type, thickness, and color. Dark coatings absorb laser energy faster than reflective ones.
No. The pulsed laser deposits energy in nanosecond bursts that ablate the coating before heat conducts into the base metal. Heat input stays low, so thin sheet and machined parts keep their shape and tolerance.
Yes. The surface is bare, dry, and free of media and chemical residue, which is the cleanest starting point for coating adhesion. No rinse or dry time is required before the next coat.
