ALKALINE POWDER COATING REMOVER
Alkaline powder coating removers are specialized chemical formulations designed to strip powder coatings from various surfaces, including metals and certain types of plastics. These removers use a high-pH (alkaline) solution to break down the tough, thermoset or thermoplastic layers of powder coatings without causing significant damage to the underlying material.
- Common Ingredients in Alkaline Powder Coating Removers:
1. Sodium Hydroxide (Caustic Soda): A strong base that breaks down organic compounds.
2. Sodium Metasilicate: Provides cleaning and buffering action, helping to lift coatings without aggressive corrosion.
3. Potassium Hydroxide: Similar to sodium hydroxide but often used for its higher solubility and effectiveness.
4. Chelating Agents: Bind metal ions to prevent scale formation and enhance cleaning efficiency.
5. Surfactants: Help to emulsify and lift the degraded coating from the surface.
6. Inhibitors: Added to prevent the solution from attacking the underlying substrate, particularly metals.
