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.
