Hot Stripping
HYPRASTRIP B604 is a high-performance paint stripper specially designed for hot-dip strippingof ferrous metals. Its powerful alkaline formulation enables it to remove thick or particularly resistantpaint, even in the most complex stripping situations. Thanks to its in-depth action, this dip stripper is the ideal solution for preparing ferrous metal surfaces for a new treatment or coating. This product is not suitable for light alloys such as aluminum, zinc or copper.
SCALPEX® A1 isa hot-bathpaint stripper and engine descaler, specifically formulated for the treatment of steel and cast iron. This dip stripper is particularly effective for paint stripping,removal of metal oxides and descaling of combustion deposits on metal parts. It offers a complete cleaning solution for metal surfaces, while being harmless to steel, refractory steels and cast irons. It should not be used on aluminum, copper and zinc alloys.
DECAPEINT is an immersion paint stripper specifically formulated for stripping unfired paint from wood and ferrous metals. Used in a hot bath, between 20 and 40°C, this destructive stripper is perfectly suited to removing glycerophtalic, vinyl and acrylic paints, as well as primers. Thanks to its dipping application method, it ensures optimum efficiency while respecting the integrity of treated surfaces. It is used exclusively by dilution in water, in a suitable heated tank.
SCALPIK® L 400 is a professional liquid paint stripper designed for use in immersion hot baths. Specially formulated for stripping paint and varnish from ferrous and non-ferrous metals, this product is perfectly suited to metal and aluminum surfaces. Thanks to its innovative methylene chloride-free formula, SCALPIK® L 400 is an effective and safer alternative to conventional paint strippers. It removes epoxy, polyester, acrylic, vinyl and cataphoretic coatings, as well as many varnishes and unbaked paints.
SCALPIK® DP 283 NG is a high-performance liquid paint stripper specially designed for hot-bath immersion applications . This all-purpose paint stripper effectively removes a wide variety of coatings, including epoxy, epoxy-polyester, polyester, glycerophthalic, vinyl, acrylic and silicone cataphoretic paints . Its formulation, based on low-volatility biodegradable solvents, makes it an effective stripping solution while limiting health and environmental risks. It dissolves resins and disperses paint pigments for in-depth cleaning. SCALPIK® DP 283 NG is ready-to-use and can be used without dilution.
What is hot bath stripping ?
In industrial settings, components can be stripped using a heated stripping bath, where the solution is maintained at a controlled temperature. This technique accelerates the stripping process by increasing the chemical activity of the product, making it easier to remove coatings such as paints, varnishes, lacquers, adhesives and more from a variety of metal substrates, as well as certain engineered wood products.
What are the advantages of this stripping method ?
Using a heated stripping bath offers several key benefits:
- Faster stripping: Heat enhances the chemical reactivity of the solution, allowing unwanted coatings to be removed more rapidly.
- Improved productivity: Shorter dwell times streamline the stripping process and help increase overall production capacity (or line throughput).
- Superior stripping quality: When used with suitable products—such as SCALPIK L400 or DÉCAPEINT—this method helps achieve cleaner, more thorough removal of paints, varnishes, adhesives and similar coatings.
- Versatility: The temperature of the bath can be adjusted to accommodate different substrates, making the process adaptable to a wide range of materials.
What types of parts can be stripped in a heated bath ?
Heated bath stripping is suitable for a wide variety of components, particularly metal parts including:
- Steel
- Aluminium
- Cast iron
- Copper and their alloys
This includes industrial components, mechanical parts, tools, automotive parts, machine elements and more.
Certain wooden parts can also be treated in a heated bath, provided they are compatible with the stripping product. For example, SCALPEX A1 is specifically formulated for stripping wood substrates safely and effectively.
