Brett and Chis, The method I understand to be the most popular is the use of micro-blasting or abrasion. In other words mechanical rather than chemical removal. However, that is only part of the problem - how do you repair the coating? The technique that seems common is to mechanically remove the coating, replace the component or whatever, and the re-coat using a 2 part epoxy coating as the nearest equivalent. If you would like more help, let me know Graham Naisbitt Concoat Ltd Alasan House, Albany Park Camberley GU15 2PL England
| At my previous job I tried to remove parylene using a plasma etching process. I don't remember the parameters used, but I do remember this: we had almost no success in removing parylene using plasma etching. I'd be quite interested in hearing if you have any success, or find some other method to remove parylene. | Brett Goldstein | | I am looking for information regarding the removal of | | parylene through a plasma etching process.
