Paint Removal
Innovative coating removal for metal structures
Do you want to be able to deploy your industrial metal structures project after project without risk of danger or defects? Then you must ensure that the installations are always properly maintained and cleaned. Specifically, you need to remove any remaining industrial coatings and re-treat the metal surface before applying a new coating.
Iris can help you with this, as we are number 1 within the Benelux when it comes to industrial coatings. By combining our knowledge of materials and products with our expertise as market leader, we can offer sustainable and profitable industrial coating solutions. For the removal of coatings, Iris uses two innovative techniques, namely vapor blasting and induction.
Vapor blasting
With vapor blasting, we remove the industrial coating from machinery and equipment by using very little abrasive while blasting. It is a technique in which the blasting medium is encapsulated with water vapor projected onto the surface. This reduces dust formation by as much as 90% compared to, for example, grit blasting.
In addition, vapor blasting also does not leave behind puddles of water containing chemicals, as the mist created during the process quickly evaporates. Therefore, little dust formation and no water residue means cost savings on cleaning and waste disposal. Moreover, we can offer you a better price for this coating service because with vapor blasting we use little abrasive.

Induction
The second technique Iris uses to remove industrial coatings is induction. This is an efficient, innovative and environmentally friendly way to remove coatings. Induction is based on an economical and efficient electromagnetic process for anti-corrosion coatings on steel surfaces. An alternating current flowing through a coil generates a magnetic field that passes through the coating. The steel surface beneath the coating heats up, causing the coating to loosen and be easily removed. The thicker and harder the coating, the more efficient induction is for removing it.
Unlike grit blasting, this technique requires no grit, eliminating both the supply and disposal and handling of huge amounts of grit.

Moreover, the paint waste produced by induction is recyclable to nearly 100%.
Induction is an efficient way to remove industrial coatings by:
- Reducing the duration of the process by including easy cleaning after the works
- No purchase of grit required
- Reduces water consumption
- Avoids use of PPE and waste disposal
- Reduces the duration of stripping by 50 to 60%
