Industrial Chemical Stripping Contractors | Advanced Marine Preservation

There are numerous methods for preparing metal surfaces these days and Advanced Marine Preservation employs several of them. For instance, chemical stripping of metals still has its place as an effective surface preparation process. However this method is also known to have a lot of environmental and personal safety hazards associated with it due to its caustic properties.

A good example is stripping paint from within a ship or, better yet, in more confined spaces such as within submarines where doors and other components cannot be removed to the outside to be stripped and resurfaced by other means.

A critical consideration where chemical stripping is ideal over blast stripping is the elimination of creating a dust environment within a confined low or non-ventilated space. Not only does this cause a risk of damaging sensitive shipboard electronics, it creates a personal health hazard as well as causing a post clean-up scenario that can add time to a project.

Advantages of Chemical Stripping

Ideal in confined spaces where components cannot be removed
Eliminates a dust environment that can damage sensitive shipboard and other electronics
Eliminates a dust environment in confined spaces causing health risks
Some effective solvents are safe for confined spaces
Eliminates time consuming post stripping clean up for fast turnaround

Chemical stripping of metals is also an option on large area metal surface areas through large vat tanks where components are immersed for a more complete strip of lead-based paints or other coatings.
