Q&A How can paint removal baths be made to last for a long time?
14 Jan 2019. The chemical formulations used for paint stripping, result from the skills that every company in the sector guards passionately. The formulations also have a considerably high incidence in the general costs of paint stripping processes. Nevertheless, the baths can last for years, and, if the right precautions are taken, they can last for nearly five years before requiring reintegration or replacement.
How should they be treated? Using an effective filtering system is paramount, and this is what Alit Technologies recommends when it invites its industrial partners to equip itself with its Fastrip FP press filter in addition to the Fastrip ISP system for in-line stripping. It eases the perfect ‘maintenance’ of chemical baths, keeping them clean from paint residues. It also allows the pressing and squeezing of the wasted paint, reducing it to a dry compound that is easy to handle and removing the precious paint stripping solution from it.
The waste, as seen in the image captured recently at a Thai customer’s industrial premises, becomes solidified and manageable and not dirty, with the cost of its disposal lower than it would be for its liquid version. The experience of the Thai customer, who is currently using the Alit formulation METALSTRIP 1460 + METALSTRIP AKTIVATOR 1660 is an excellent example that confirms the possibility of obtaining less waste to be disposed of and chemical baths in a good condition indefinitely.

Q&A Why do well-stripped hooks ease an optimal painting?
12 Nov 2018. The hooks or frames used to transport items to be painted in industrial lines should be stripped off well before being reused, for the simple reason that the presence of paint particles that have not been removed properly during cleaning, decrease the electrostatic effect. In this regard, read the comments of one of our clients, Mr Andreas Marcou, who is Muskita’s plant manager at page 50 of IPCM’s October issue where he is pointing out the importance of electrostatic conductivity.
In electrostatic painting, the paint powder sticks to the product due to the electrostatic effect, but the possible presence of paint from a previous process generates a repulsive barrier between successive layers.
Therefore, by cleaning the support hook well, the number of items that are painted badly and must be reworked is reduced drastically. This also allows a reduction in paint consumption.
For this reason, Alit recommends its Fastrip ISP technology In-line paint Stripping Process, a system of heated tanks containing chemical paint-stripping solutions that are placed between the writing probe and the loading probe of the painting process. During their passage, the hooks or frames to be cleaned are immersed in the tank and, within a few minutes, in relation to the paint used and the working temperature, come out at the end of the process perfectly cleaned. They are then ready for optimal reuse and are able to promote maximum electrostatic conductivity in the subsequent processes.

A brand-new design for the Fastrip T2 by Alit Technologies – the ultrasonic stripping tank for the maintenance of hooks and masking products
3 Sept 2018. The effective paint stripping of masking products and hooks that are used during painting processes is now easier with the new Fastrip T2 . It is the smallest technology in the Alit Technologies line-up which is dedicated to the chemical stripping of metals. Alit has rethought the Fastrip T2 design and implemented new functionalities for this ultrasonic tank with integrated heating that combines mechanical and chemical effects. The overall dimensions are minimal (530 x 330 x 310 mm), whereas the effect is maximum. It has been specifically designed to remove the paint layers from masking items and coating line hooks while preserving their surface and extending their service life. In addition, it can be used for either treating small items comprising iron and aluminium or paint stripping guns. It is now equipped with a new digital control display for ensuring greater comfort along with facilitating easy setting of the time and heating functions. It also enables the constant control of the temperature and its visualisation in real time. It works best with two paint strippers that have been specifically created by Alit in relation with the paints that need to be treated – MASKSTRIP 1280 is for the liquid ones, whereas MASKSTRIP 1290 is meant to be used for powder paints. Alit Technologies, which is the specialist in products and machinery for the chemical stripping of metals, with Fastrip T2, aims to support all those industries that have limited internal painting processes. Fastrip T2 helps in keeping their painting line in excellent condition over time without the need for external interventions.
Summer holidays: 12th till 24th August
23 July 2018. A magical sunset from our beautiful Venice that invites to relax to wish that your summer holidays will be dedicated to relaxing as well as enjoying. We want to inform you that our office will remain closed from 12th till 24th August. We’ll see you on 27th August.
Redoil 5000 by Alit Technologies, the protective oil for metallic artefacts after paint stripping
Alit Technologies, specialists in the latest generation metal paint stripping and processes, brings a new product with the completion of the 5000 line-up that is devoted to metal protection; they deal with the moment when the artefacts, once painted, await future processing. The new Redoil 5000, a solvent-based hydrophobic oil, can be applied to previously paint-stripped metals to prevent rust and oxidation, which can compromise their resistance, appearance and integrity. The new product has innumerable features that will appeal to operators. First, Redoil leaves a very dry residue on the treated part, avoiding annoying dripping and thus staining industrial areas. It has a very high vapourability along with a high dewatering power. With just a litre of Redoil, you can treat up to 200m2 of surface and get an evanescent protective film. It can also be used on wet iron products.
