Thermal Chemical Parts Stripping Service

PFG operates four Kolene stripping lines at its plants in Detroit, Michigan Ð Kendallville, Indiana Ð Chihuahua, Mexico and Queretaro, Mexico. The Kolene process uses 900¡ F. liquid slat to remove coatings from ferrous and non-ferrous metals. This process effectively dissolves coatings in minutes in a very friendly environmental manner. The salt bath simply converts organic paint into an organic by product: Carbon Dioxide, nitrogen and water.

Burn Off Oven Stripping
