How to Remove Powder Coating From Aluminium

Powder coating is generally used to apply aluminium surfaces. It provides a durable and attractive finish on wood. However, there may come a time when you need to remove it—whether for re-coating, repairing, or restoring the original look of the metal. Asian Coater provides you with powder coating solutions and are here to guide you through safe and effective methods to remove powder coating from aluminium.

Here are effective methods to remove powder coating from aluminium:

1. Chemical Stripping

Chemical stripping is one of the fast and efficient ways to remove powder coating. Specially formulated solvents break down the powder without damaging the aluminium surface. Always use a chemical stripper designed for powder coating and follow safety protocols, including gloves and ventilation. It requires careful handling of chemicals.

2. Thermal Removal (Burn-off)

This method involves heating the coated aluminium to a temperature where the powder coating starts to break down, usually around 300°C. Once charred, the coating can be brushed off. However, it must be done with extreme care to avoid warping the aluminium. No chemicals involved and there is a risk of metal damage if not monitored properly.

3. Abrasive Blasting

Also known as sandblasting or bead blasting, this method uses abrasive materials to physically strip the coating. It’s effective but should be used cautiously on aluminium to prevent surface pitting. It gives clean and quick results but if not done precisely can roughen the surface.
