At Carolina Chem-Strip, we can strip all parts, big and small, restoring old products to like-new condition. With the ability to strip very large objects, we were contracted by an automotive restoration client from North Carolina to completely strip a sixteen foot, 1968 Mustang vehicle. Based on customer specifications, the full body of this Mustang was stripped down to its bare sheet metal.

Using our temperature controlled oven, Carolina Chem-Strip was able to remove all seam sealers, undercoating, and bondo from the car before placing the Mustang into an acid bath for complete chemical stripping. The acid bath eliminated all scale and rust.

Next we washed and dried the automobile. Then the Mustang was chemically stripped, we then neutralized the vehicle in a high alkaline tank and applied an Ospho coating to preserve the car’s steel exterior and prevent against further rusting. With the ability to restore any part, big or small, we were able to chemically strip the full body of a 1968 Mustang.

Recently, a manufacturing client contracted Carolina Chem-Strip to complete the stripping of a heat exchanger. This heat exchanger measured four feet long, weighed two hundred pounds, and was constructed from aluminum material. By combining our baking and chemical stripping processes, Carolina Chem-Strip was able to successfully turn around high-quality product, shipping the refurbished part back to our customer’s facility in North Carolina in top-notch form.

To begin the stripping process, we first removed the seam sealer, undercoating, and bondo from the heat exchanger using our temperature controlled baking oven. We then placed the part into an acid bath, chemically stripping all scale and rust. After stripping was complete, we neutralized the heat exchanger in a high-alkaline tank, and then washed and dried the component, getting the part ready for shipping. We also added an Ospho finish, which helps preserve metal and prevents rust.

After we completed the stripping process, we were able to return this part back to our client in like-new condition. Our chemical stripping services helped preserve the heat exchanger for further use, saving our client’s both time and money over complete part replacement.
