Acid Dipping / Caustic Dipping

A common and very cost effective way of stripping paint and coatings from ferrous and non-ferrous components is to acid or caustic dipping.  However, although recognised as an inexpensive way of conducting this process, stripping of items such as a car body can give rise to numerous negative effects.  The use of these aggressive chemical strippers can, for example, leave residual chemicals entrapped in the frames, joints and structure of a car, vehicle body or panel. 

Additionally the inside of the vehicle body and panel will have been paint dipped by the manufacturer and this will then be removed by the acid/caustic stripper and cannot be replaced, leaving the inside of the body shell/panel open to possible corrosion from within.  plastic media stripping, as an alternative process, only strips visible areas on a selective basis.  Ideally suited not only to paint removal from steel and aluminium bodies, it will also work perfectly on composite and glass fibre vehicles and panels, with no fear of component distortion, which can occur with conventional blasting.
