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 paint strip
products, when compared to other stripping products available?
A. The advantages of MILES paint strip products are significant
, (a) MILES
environmentally
friendly paint stripper products
are more operator friendly than other paint stripping
products. (b) MILES new paint stripper 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 paint strip time for paint removal of most production painted parts?
A. The paint strip time for paint removal 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
paint 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 paint strip
products, due to the fact that E-coat does not
build a high film build on the hooks & racks.
6 - Q.
Can MILES
paint strip products be used to strip powder coating from
aluminum, galvanized and zinc die-cast substrates?
A. Yes, MILES paint strip products can be used to strip powder
coat from
aluminum, galvanized, zinc die-cast, 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 paint strip products alter my pretreatment
coating, chromate conversion coating or zinc phosphate coating weight or morphology?
A. No, MILES Non-Ferrous Safe paint strip products have 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 products?
A. Equipment requirements to consider to properly utilize MILES
proprietary paint strip products are as follows: (a)
A heated, insulated strip tank with a lid. (b) adequate exhaust,
MILES paint strip products 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 stripping solution through the parts.
