Classification Of Aircraft Paint Stripers

Aircraft paint strippers are broadly classified into two categories: application paint strippers and Immersion paint and carbon removers. Each of these categories of paint removers further incorporates some major types of paint strippers. Let us take a look at each of them.

APPLICATION PAINT STRIPPERS

TPA D223

The TPA D223 is an approved phenolic remover, which is acid activated. Unlike many other paint removers, this one works at removing amine too. At times, there are cured epoxy coatings which are difficult to remove with alkaline epoxy strippers. The TPA D223 works well in such cases too.

TPA D23/D23V

This aircraft paint stripper is a high performance paint stripper. It is generally used as a paint remover with phenolic base. The product is safe to use and works well on most aircraft alloys that are commonly used. The TPA D23/D23v range of paint strippers is used on polyurethane and epoxy paint schemes as a standard product in the industry.

TPA AEROSTRIP RANGE

This one is a water based stripper and delivers superior coverage and maximum efficiency. Another great aspect of this aircraft stripper is that it is very environment friendly and does least damage to the environment, unlike most aircraft paint strippers. The TPA aerostrip range works a lot better and faster than many other acid activated materials.

TPAD83

This one is a paint stripper with a non phenolic base. Though this aircraft paint striper works well on various surfaces, it works best on acrylic bases and sacrificial coat systems.

TPA D283

The TPA D283 is essentially a paint stripper with acid activation. This aircraft paint stripper is the most effective in stripping off epoxy coating systems which are amine cured from aluminum alloys. The TPA D283 is a great option in situations where the use of products that contain phenol is prohibited.

IMMERSION PAINT AND CARBON REMOVERS

TPA PAINTBLAST SYSTEM

This one is the best solution for removing stubborn coatings from complex aircraft components. This aircraft paint stripper helps in removing even coatings that are chemically resistant and that too very easily. To add on, it does not even cause any substrate damage.

TPA D53

The TPA D53 is a heavy duty ambient temperature immersion paint and carbon remover. This one works well in removing different carbon deposits and different kind of paint schemes.

TPA PAINTBLAST 103

The TPA paintblast 103 is considered as a viable alternative solution to the traditional dry stripping processes. The reason for the same is that the material is a lot softer than other plastic media. Also it does not fuse on to any substrate surfaces. This aircraft paint stripper is a specially processed and naturally occurring lingo cellulose material.

Each of these aircraft paint strippers has its own pros and cons. know them and go in for the one that you think best meet yours needs.
