Greensolv's chemists' mission is to find innovative, environmentally-friendly and cost-effective solutions for the stripping of metal parts of all kinds that are used in industrial assembly lines.
Stripping the hooks used to hold parts to be painted in place is a perfect example of the innovations the company is developing.
Background
Many industrial manufacturing companies use stainless or carbon steel hooks, usually in the shape of a straight C or elongated S to hang bulky parts and hold them in place while they are painted.
Powder or liquid paint applied to the parts eventually accumulates on the hooks, making them unusable. Although these hooks are inexpensive, it is preferable to strip them to extend their life in order to avoid supply difficulties (and stops in the assembly line) and reduce the company's carbon footprint.
Stripping in a Burn-Off Oven
The traditional method of stripping hooks is to insert them into a burn-off oven. The high heat then destroys the structural integrity of the paint, which flakes off the surface of the hook.
This method is effective, but it has its share of disadvantages:
An alternative: chemical stripping
To overcome these drawbacks, Greensolv has developed a high-performance chemical stripping process which is performed in Greensolv stripping tanks.
Here are the advantages over pyrolysis:
In the end, chemical stripping of hooks is a more practical and economical solution.
