Parting agents facilitate the removal of old paint, coatings, resins, and adhesives from metal, glass, and plastic surfaces. Traditionally, methylene chloride-based agents were common, but there has been a shift towards environmentally friendly, non-chlorinated alternatives.
They are essential in preventing uneven painting, peeling, and cracking when applying new coatings. Choices between water-based, solvent-based, and methylene chloride-based agents depend on material compatibility, the extent of removal, and the process involved. Given its harmful effects on health and the environment, methylene chloride requires careful handling.
Parting agents alter the adhesion properties of coatings, facilitating their removal. The effectiveness varies with the solvent type:
Characterized by its high permeability, this type softens paint films for removal, especially useful for steel surfaces prone to rust. Available in neutral, acidic, and alkaline variants, it complies with industrial safety and environmental regulations.
These agents dissolve and remove the coating. While suitable for removing cured adhesives and resin-based films, their pungent odor and high viscosity make them less ideal for detailed cleaning and slow to dry. They are also regulated under fire safety laws.
Immersion: Submerge the coated material in a tank filled with a parting agent for comprehensive removal. Techniques like electro-stripping can speed up the process, though the solution requires periodic renewal to remove impurities.
Spray Application: Spraying the agent can be uneven and risks contaminating unintended areas. Automation helps, but the manual application still presents challenges.
Direct Application: Brush application allows for selective and economical use, requiring minimal quantities.
In medical contexts, parting agents assist in managing prosthetics like artificial anus or bladder devices, ensuring a tight seal against the skin to prevent odor leakage. These medical-grade agents prioritize ingredients that are gentle on the skin, offering options from odorless to scented varieties. Their formulation, often silicone-based and sometimes alcohol-free, minimizes skin irritation. Designed for convenience and ease of use, they cater to both individual and caregiver needs, emphasizing functionality and portability.
