The Process
Controlled Coating Removal at the Bond Line
Induction stripping uses alternating electrical current to generate a magnetic field that induces eddy currents within carbon steel. Those currents create localized heat that disrupts adhesion through differential thermal expansion — the steel expands faster than the coating, placing stress precisely at their interface.
The result is a coating that separates cleanly, in sheets, without grinding, blasting, or abrasive media. The steel substrate is never compromised.
- Precise, localized temperature control — no effect on steel metallurgy or structural integrity
- Significantly quieter than blasting or grinding methods
- Minimal airborne dust — suitable for active facilities and sensitive environments
- Waste limited to the removed coating itself — no spent media to dispose of
