Atmospheric Plasma Coating Removal: The Future Without Spent Abrasive

Atmospheric Plasma Coating Removal: The Future Without Spent Abrasive
Available for download

Throughout both commercial and military industries there is a growing need for environmentally safe and cost-effective solutions capable of removing paint and coatings from a wide range of surfaces including steel, aluminum, concrete, and composites.  Atmospheric Plasma Coating Removal (APCR) is the next generation of coating removal and surface preparation technology that represents a step forward in developing more environmentally responsible methods for coating removal.

Throughout both commercial and military industries there is a growing need for environmentally safe and cost-effective solutions capable of removing paint and coatings from a wide range of surfaces including steel, aluminum, concrete, and composites.  Atmospheric Plasma Coating Removal (APCR) is the next generation of coating removal and surface preparation technology that represents a step forward in developing more environmentally responsible methods for coating removal. Tested in U.S. government trials, APCR was found to be a safe and effective alternative to dry media blasting and wet abrasive blasting.  Requiring only compressed air and electricity to operate, a concentrated, low temperature, air plasma beam is created which enables rapid coating removal without the use of any media, virtually eliminating the need for containment. Single or multiple plasma beams may be configured for handheld or machine-mounted use to prepare a variety of substrates.  The coating removal and cleaning process converts the organic components of most decorative or protective coatings into carbon dioxide and water vapor. Inorganic constituents of the coatings, such as pigments, are then recovered as a fine dust.  The Atmospheric Plasma Coating Removal system presents a novel technology to remove coatings from virtually any substrate material.  APCR has been demonstrated to be an effective alternative to media and wet abrasive blasting on a wide range of surfaces and coatings found in both commercial and military industries.

A vessel docked for maintenance is a vessel out of service. For military forces, this significantly affects the readiness of that force, its ability to respond quickly and appropriately to a developing situation. It is for this reason that the United States Navy continues to search for and invest in innovations that improve maintenance turn-around times as well as innovations that keep vessels in service for longer periods of time. In large-scale construction and manufacturing industries such as shipbuilding and naval maintenance, coating removal is an essential but time-consuming process required for constructing and maintaining vessels and other structures.
