Corrosion control of acid activated paint stripper

Abstract

Introduction A standard formulation of paint stripper based on dichloromethane will contain an activator to promote the rate of solvent action, either an acid—especially formic acid—or an amine such as ethanolamine. A frequent method of application is to arrange the components on jigs or in baskets, followed by immersion in stripping solution subsequently flushing off the loose paint by water jets. To minimize loss of volatile dichloromethane the immersion tank carries a water seal floating on the surface of the organic phase.
