There are several ways to remove old coatings, varnishes and other paint layers. Moreover, some techniques are already cleaner, cheaper and more environmentally friendly than others. The industrial coating expert IRIS knows them all and has recently been swearing by two innovative - but extremely efficient - techniques. The common thread? Cleanliness.<\/em><\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Vapor blasting<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.iris.be\/en\/actuality\/blog\/coatings-paint-residue-and-corrosion-removal-with-vaporblasting\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">In another blog article<\/a>\u00a0we already discussed this recent blasting technique in detail. Compared to classic grit or wet blasting, vapor blasting, a combination of grit and wet blasting, is a lot friendlier to the environment. Less shielding is required and the water used ensures that paint particles and grit do not fly around.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But that's certainly not the only benefit. We list all the benefits again:<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>No dust emission<\/strong>\u00a0(to 90% less): The water vapor causes a water vapor layer to form around the grit grain. This layer prevents the grit from pulverizing into dust. As a result, the environmental impact is minimal, requiring no or limited shielding measures.<\/li>\n\n<li><strong>Better for the lungs<\/strong>: The water encapsulates the blasted paint particles and drastically reduces dust formation.<\/li>\n\n<li><strong>Less waste<\/strong>: Because less grit is consumed, there is less waste. Waste residue is lower up to 80%.<\/li>\n\n<li><strong>Application of new coating is facilitated<\/strong>: Vapor blasting provides a good preparation of the steel, which makes it easier as a base to apply a new coating.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"333\" class=\"wp-image-1777\" src=\"https:\/\/www.iris.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Inductie-1-2.jpg\" alt=\"Worker glues material to large pipe structure.\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.iris.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Inductie-1-2.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.iris.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Inductie-1-2-500x208.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.iris.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Inductie-1-2-768x320.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Induction de-lacquering<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.iris.be\/en\/actuality\/blog\/dust-free-and-environmentally-friendly-stripping-with-induction\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">this technique<\/a>\u00a0a so-called induction coil heats up the old layers of paint on a given steel structure so that you can easily remove it by scraping it off.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The major advantage of this method is its environmental friendliness. Paint particles do not end up in the environment. On the contrary, you remove the old paint layers in strips and can 100% recycle them.<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Less CO2 emissions<\/strong>: Because no grit is used, induction de-lacquering reduces CO2 emissions by 75%.<\/li>\n\n<li><strong>Faster<\/strong>: The technique works optimally with thick and hard coatings. Just the conditions where other techniques are very slow comes induction.<\/li>\n\n<li><strong>Safer<\/strong>: Noiseless, dust-free and safe. You don't need any special protective clothing.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Want to know which technique is best for your project?\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.iris.be\/en\/contacteren\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">If so, please contact IRIS<\/a>.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Met deze twee technieken verwijderen je coatings en lakken in een oogwenk Akkoord.
