Normal stripping techniques require sanders and grinders to remove paint from the surface. This process takes a long time since the base needs to be prepared, then stripped and then cleaned. In most cases, if a metal surface has been blasted with sand or glass beads, the metal is often left with tiny pits (like the appearance of an orange peel) and needs to be filled and sanded back to a smooth finish before any repainting can begin. ARMEX® blasting can remove paint from metal without damaging the surface.
Without damage
ARMEX® blasting can remove paint down to the base without damage to the metal, glass, rubber or aluminum trim in a fraction of the time. Furthermore ARMEX® will not damage or infiltrate hydraulics or engine parts.
ARMEX® blasting on metal actually leaves a coating which inhibits rust. This allows the restorer the flexibility to repaint the surface straight away or leave it for a couple of months.
ARMEX® blasting can be used across many different applications:
- Shipping container cleaning and maintenance
- Truck and machinery paint stripping
- Cleaning and deodorizing skip bins
- Fleet maintenance for removing decals, logos and collision work
- Construction equipment without having to remove any parts in order to preserve them
- Removing paint from helicopter airframes
- Strip paint from aircraft wheels
- Remove paint from radar systems
Benefits include:
- Eliminates the need to use of harmful chemicals or sanding equipment
- ARMEX® will not damage metal, glass, plastic or aluminum trim
- ARMEX® will not damage or infiltrate hydraulics or engine parts
- Inhibits rust
- Is water soluble and has NO impact on the environment
- Can be done with or without the use of water, only a minimal amount of water is used
