Technology Demonstration of Nontoxic Chemical Stripper for Steel: Cost and Performance Report

Abstract

The environmental problem being addressed in this technology demonstration is the removal of lead-based paint (LBP) from steel structures without producing hazardous air pollutants. Environmentally acceptable chemical stripper technology was validated as part of a standard methodology for removing LBP on large steel structures owned by the Army, such as water tanks, aircraft hangars, bridges, antennas, ladders, poles, railings, and fuel storage tanks, leaving a surface suitable for repainting. In addition, this technology was demonstrated to meet environmental regulations and worker health and safety issues. Cost and performance data were collected and analyzed.
