Aircraft Paint Stripper - North America Solvent Mixture

Project Overview

Aircraft Paint Stripper - North America

Solvent Mixture

Paint has three major components: pigments, binders/polymers, and solvents.

General cleaning principles include the ability to solubilize unwanted material. Paint remover and stripper works by swelling the polymer, disrupting some of the chemical bonds, softening the paint, and making mechanical removal easier. Two majot factors are: 1) How soluble the uncross-linked polymer is in the solvent and 2) the length of the chains between cross-links (the shorter the length, the higher the cross-link density, and the less opportunity for swelling.) For a specific type of paint, a paint remover can be tailored to be more effective and can include benzyl alcohol, hydrogen peroxide, formic acid, acetic acid, benzoic acid, and other components. Detailed knowledge of the type of paint, polymer composition, and molecular and cross-link structure are required to tailor a stiripper to a particular paint.
