Air Force Study on Paint Stripping Technology

Abstract

In 1991, a joint service study on alternative paint removal processes was started in DoD. In the same year, Congress directed the Secretary of the Air Force to study and submit a report on existing paint stripping technologies including an evaluation of their potential for reducing the amount of hazardous waste produced during the stripping process. Also in 1991, the Air Force tested a turbine wheel system that strips paint from aircraft. In 1992, the Senate requested the Inspector General, DoD, to review the conduct of the Air Force study of paint stripping technologies and the Air Force test of the turbine wheel system.
