Laser Coating Removal
Remove powder coat, epoxy, e-coat, and industrial coatings down to bare substrate with no blast media, no chemical strippers, and no substrate damage. One mobile pass, coating-ready or inspection-ready.

Powder coat, epoxy, and e-coat bond hard to metal. Sandblasting strips them but erodes the base metal, changes tolerances, and embeds media in the surface. On machined parts and thin sheet, that dimensional loss fails inspection.
Chemical strippers soften coatings but generate hazardous liquid waste, require long dwell times, and leave residue that ruins adhesion of the next coating. Disposal manifests and VOC exposure add cost and liability.
Multi-layer coatings hide corrosion, weld defects, and cracks. Inspectors need a clean substrate to certify the part. Slow manual stripping delays the line and inflates labor cost.
Why Laser for Laser Coating Removal
Selective Layer Control
Strip one coating layer at a time or go straight to bare metal. Pulse parameters control depth to the micron for failure analysis and inspection prep.
Zero Substrate Damage
The laser ablates the coating, not the metal. No erosion, no pitting, no dimensional change. Machined and thin-gauge parts pass inspection.
No Hazardous Waste
No chemical strippers, no blast media. The removed coating is captured as dry dust in a HEPA cartridge. No liquid waste manifests, no VOC exposure.
How We Do It
Our pulsed fiber laser tunes to the coating absorption layer and ablates it in nanosecond bursts. The coating vaporizes into dust captured by HEPA filtration. The metal underneath reflects the energy and stays dimensionally intact.
We set pulse frequency, power, and scan speed per coating type and thickness. A single layer of e-coat strips at a different rate than four layers of industrial epoxy. We strip selectively, one layer at a time when failure analysis requires it.
The result is a bare, dry, residue-free surface ready for re-coating, welding, bonding, or NDT inspection. No rinse, no dry time, no media to sweep up.
