Additives - Activators
ADDITIF STRIPAC BASE ECO is a concentrated alkaline gas pedal for immersion paint stripping using the STRIPAC method. Designed to reinforce the action of stripping baths, this professional additive effectively removes a wide range of industrial paints: epoxy polyester, glycerophthalic, vinyl, acrylic, woodstains, varnishes, primers, etc. Its action consists of dissolving resins and denaturing pigments.
Its action consists in dissolving the resins and denaturing the mineral pigments present in the paint film. Once destructured, this film is easily removed by rinsing with water, immersion or high-pressure cleaning. Its substrate-friendly formulation ensures maximum effectiveness without attacking substrates such as steel or wood.
SCALPIK L12S ACTIVATOR is a technical additive designed for use as a complement to a SCALPIK L12S-based pickling bath. This product has no stripping power of its own, but is formulated to restore the efficiency of the stripping bath when it begins to lose performance.
In fact, chlorinated paint strippers like SCALPIK L12S are subject to evaporation during use, notably due to frequency of use, bath temperature or air contact surface. SCALPIK L12S ACTIVATOR compensates for this loss of power by restoring the bath’s properties
What is a stripping bath additive/activator ?
Additives and activators are chemical solutions that are added to a stripping bath. These substances improve the bath's performance in terms of wetting, dispersion, and coating removal. This type of product facilitates the penetration of the stripper into the substrate to be treated. Additives and activators play an essential role in optimizing the performance of the pickling bath. They improve the cleaning and pickling action of the baths and also ensure that the parts are thoroughly treated.
Why use an additive in a pickling bath ?
There are several advantages to using additives in a pickling bath. First, this type of product improves the overall performance of the stripping process. By increasing the bath's ability to remove unwanted coatings, additives contribute to enhanced efficiency. In addition, they can play a protective role for metal parts by acting as anti-corrosion agents. They thus preserve the structure of the parts and extend their service life. Furthermore, these products can also reduce the risk of damage caused by stripping. They allow the pH or temperature of the bath to be controlled, which limits the deformation of parts.
Why use an activator in a pickling bath ?
Using activators in a stripping bath has several advantages. First, they speed up the process by stimulating the chemical reaction between the stripping bath and the parts being treated. This reduces the time needed to remove unwanted coatings. In addition, adding an activator improves the overall efficiency of the stripping process.
