1 - Q. What are the advantages of stripping
my paint rework parts in-house?
A. #1. The most
important advantage of stripping your paint rework parts in-house
is the opportunity to maintain quality under your roof, without
damage that can occur in handling during transportation to and
from the paint strip service location. #2. Reduced turn-around
time, in most cases reduced from 3 to 5 days, to 1 to 2
hours stripping in-house. #3. Cost Savings in-house,
when compared to added service and transportation costs.
2 - Q. What
are the advantages of MILES new proprietary paint strip
chemistries, when compared to other stripping technologies
available?
A. The advantages of MILES new proprietary
paint strip technologies are all so significant that it's hard to
place them in any particular order of importance. (a) MILES
proprietary formulas are environmentally more friendly than
hazardous regulated chemical technologies. MILES proprietary
paint strip processes are more operator friendly. (b) MILES
new proprietary technologies leave the substrate surface in
like-new condition with original surface quality.
3 - Q. Will
MILES proprietary paint strip process strip liquid applied,
(cured) paint as well as stripping powder coating paints?
A. Yes, MILES proprietary technologies will strip both
liquid applied, (cured) paint as well as stripping powder coating
and electro-coat paints. MILES also offers New Proprietary
Low-VOC, Low-Temperature, Environmentally Friendly, Aqueous-based
processes to strip paint from Aluminum, Brass, Zinc, Steel and
Plastic substrates
4 - Q. What is the strip time for most
production paint rework parts?
A. The strip time in most
cases is directly related to the paint film build on the parts.
Most OEM production painted parts have a dry paint film build of
from 1 mil up to 10 mils. MILES proprietary paint strip process
can remove paints up to 10 mils of paint in 30 minutes to a
maximum of 1 hour for stripping automotive coatings that
incorporate e-coat, base coat and clear coat coatings.
5 - Q. Can you
use MILES new proprietary paint strip process for stripping racks
and fixtures?
A. When thinking about paint stripping
hooks, racks and fixtures with MILES process, the yes and no
answer revolves around paint film build. Yes, if you can turn
around the racks and fixtures, in order to maintain the paint
build-up under 10 mils. No it does not make sense to use chemistry
for use on hooks, racks and fixtures that have paint build-up in
excess of 10-20 mils. Stripping E-coat hooks, racks and fixtures
is a good application for MILES chemical strip processes, due to
the fact that E-coat does not build a high film build on the hooks
& racks.
6 - Q. Can MILES new proprietary chemical
paint strip products be used on multi-metal substrates?
A. Yes, MILES new proprietary paint strip products can be used to
strip paint from aluminum, magnesium, brass & non-ferrous
substrates in addition to removing paint coatings from TPO & other
plastic substrates.
7 - Q. Will my rinse water and spent strip
solution be regulated or non-regulated?
A. Environmental
restrictions are different in many locations, however many of
MILES proprietary paint strip solutions are non-regulated, Non-HAP
and Non-SARA. Special attention should be taken to verify the
paints being stripped are of a non-regulated and non-hazardous
make-up, in which case the rinse water and spent strip solution
will also be non-regulated.
8 - Q. Will MILES new
proprietary paint strip process alter my pretreatment coating,
chromate conversion coating or zinc phosphate coating weight or
morphology?
A. No, MILES new proprietary strip process
has demonstrated no adverse affect on zinc phosphate coating
weight or morphology. In addition, we have seen no affect on
chromate conversion coatings, this is important in keeping the
chromate from leaching into your strip solution.
9 - Q. What type of equipment is recommended
to utilize MILES proprietary paint strip solutions?
A.
Equipment requirements to consider to properly utilize MILES
proprietary paint strip process are as follows: (a) A heated,
insulated strip tank with a lid. (b) adequate exhaust, MILES paint
strip solution vapor when heated is not a HAP and in most
cases, can be exhausted outside the facility. (c) an agitation
mixer capable of circulating the MILES paint strip solution
through the parts.
10 - Q. Where can I purchase a hot strip
process tank capable of utilizing MILES new proprietary paint
strip solution?
A. MILES CHEMICAL SOLUTIONS
will provide free of charge, a custom process strip tank design,
in addition to a free fabrication cost quote. For strip tank
quote, contact MILES Chemical Solutions at:
sam@mileschemicalsolutions.com
11 - Q. How long will MILES new proprietary
paint strip solution last?
A. With regular additions of
MILES new proprietary stripping solution, to make-up for carry-out
and regular removal or decanting of the precipitated paint sludge,
stripping solutions may last from 1-2 years. Performance is
maintained with regular additions of MILES new proprietary
solutions.
12 - Q. Can
I purchase a 1-gallon or 5-gallon sample to test panels or
wheels at our location?
A. Yes, MILES
CHEMICAL SOLUTIONS offers 1-gallon, 5-gallon, 30-Gallon, 55-Gallon and 330 Gallon containers.
