  • Method of removing built-up layers of organic coatings
    Patent number: 4554025
    Abstract: The removal of paint from a support device for a product in a paint finishing operation is improved by using a support device with a critical surface tension such that paint adheres to the surface, yet readily fractures and debonds when treated with a cryogenic liquid. The paint is then removed by contacting the cryogenically treated support device with a non-metallic, non-silica base solid, gas or liquid with sufficient force to effectively remove the paint.
