PVDF
coating removal Application
|
|
PVDF
and fluorinated polymer coating are very difficult
coating to remove with abrasive wheels, blast
or water jet. The HPDDL-4000W has the ability
to operate in a pulsed mode which is ideal for
ablating these PTFE and PVDF coatings from surfaces
without effecting base material. |
