Industrial Paint Stripping: Removers for Racks, Hooks and Rework

Every powder coating and e-coat line accumulates painted racks, hooks and reject parts. Industrias Trevigo supplies industrial paint stripping chemistry — hot alkaline systems and modern formulated removers — with the process parameters to run stripping in-house safely and economically.

Stripper technologies we formulate

The right remover depends on your paint system, substrate and constraints:

Hot alkaline strippers: the workhorse for powder coating and e-coat on steel — lowest cost per kilogram of paint removed.
Formulated intensive removers with co-solvents: for heavily cured epoxies or when speed matters most.
Controlled-pH formulations for aluminum and sensitive alloys that alkaline systems would attack.

Typical immersion process

Racks or parts are immersed in heated tanks (80-95°C) for 30 to 120 minutes depending on coating thickness, followed by rinsing and drying. We define concentration, temperature and monitoring parameters, and track bath loading so you replace chemistry on schedule instead of by guesswork. Not sure which remover fits? Send us a sample part — we run the stripping test at no cost and recommend with data.

Frequently asked questions

What is the best remover for powder coating racks?

For steel racks with powder coating or e-coat, hot alkaline strippers deliver the lowest cost per kilogram of paint removed and allow high rack rotation. We formulate them to match your specific coating chemistry.

Is methylene chloride still allowed in Mexico?

It remains available but faces growing restrictions, following the regulatory direction of the U.S. and Europe. We recommend transitioning to modern formulated removers to avoid forced reformulation and compliance risk later.

Do you strip parts as a service?

We are a chemical manufacturer and technical advisor, not a job shop. We equip and train your team to strip in-house, or connect you with stripping shops in the Monterrey area that run our chemistry.
