Scientific Basis for Paint Stripping: Elucidated Combinatorial Mechanism of Methylene Chloride and Phenol Based Paint Removers

Abstract

The objective of this project is to elucidate the mechanism(s) of action of methylene chloride and phenol based paint strippers on polymeric coatings in order to lead to efficient, cost-effective, and safe alternatives. This is accomplished by monitoring the changes in physical and molecular-level properties of polymeric coatings after exposure to the components of organic solvent based paint strippers.
