Process for stripping organic coatings

Abstract From the Canadian patent

Organic coatings such as paint, varnish and shellac are stripped from the surface of a coated objet by contacting the surface with a stripping composition in the gas phase substantially in the absence of liquid stripping composition condensate, wherein the stripping composition in the gas phase is capable of destroying the adhesion between the coating and the surface. This process is particularly useful for objects which can be placed in a stripping zone and substantially sealed from the atmosphere especially objects having, an irregular surface and also for interior surfaces which can be substantially sealed from the atmosphere, including extensive interior surfaces such as those of …
