Thermal stripping is a heat-based process used to remove coatings from metal and other surfaces efficiently and cleanly. At Northpoint, we offer specialist thermal stripping services that deliver high-quality results across various industries. https://northpoint.ltd.uk/services/thermal-stripping/
Thermal Stripping Fundamentals
In its simplest form, thermal stripping applies controlled heat (either in a fluidised sand bed or via pyrolysis) to break down coatings such as paint or powder. Precise temperature control is essential: too low and removal is incomplete; too high and the base material may be harmed.
Thermal Stripping Equipment and Tools
At Northpoint, thermal stripping is carried out using purpose-built, in-house equipment designed for safety, consistency, and precision. The process takes place within a controlled heat system, often using a fluidised bed of sand to ensure even temperature distribution and effective coating removal without damaging the underlying material.
These facilities allow Northpoint to manage temperature settings and exposure times carefully, ensuring coatings are fully removed while maintaining the integrity of the metal part. Our focus on precise temperature control and efficient heat transfer results in cleaner surfaces that are perfectly prepared for recoating.
Applications of Thermal Stripping
There are a wide range of applications for thermal stripping. Whether you’re dealing with powder-coated metal sheets, automotive components, or architectural elements needing refurbishment, we have the capability to handle every project. By stripping down to a cleaner base, our process fully prepares items for re-coating or refinishing.
Safety and Environmental Considerations
Safety and sustainability are major advantages of thermal stripping. At Northpoint, this service is described as being “much more environmentally cleaner than traditional chemical stripping methods” because it uses heat and excludes solvents.
Why Choose Northpoint for Thermal Stripping?
With over 40 years of expertise in anti-corrosion and powder-coating applications, Northpoint brings a long history of experience to thermal stripping projects. From precise removal of coatings to preparation for re-coating, we ensure your parts are optimally treated. We understand how, when thermal stripping is done right, it will mean that the new coating will adhere better and last longer.
