Stripping

Stripping is one kind of common processing widely used in the mechanical finishing. It is used to remove paint, coatings, or plated layers from parts. In the process of stripping, it may involve the use solvents, such as mineral spirits, chemicals, like sulfuric acid, or mechanical processes like sanding or grinding. Stripping by solvents or chemicals is commonly done by dipping parts into tanks containing the substances. Heat may be used in the process to facilitate stripping.
