Abstract
The use of strippable coatings is a low-cost, effective method for removal of particle and film-type contaminants from the surfaces of high quality parts. The coating is applied to the surface by spraying, rolling, or brushing. The coating is allowed to cure and then removed by peeling. A wide variety of solvent- and water-based strippable coatings are available for precision cleaning of surfaces. The coating formulations are designed to entrain the contaminants by physical or chemical means. This chapter discusses recent applications of these coatings for removal of surface contaminants on a variety of surfaces. One successful application has been removal of dust and debris from precision optical surfaces, such as coated lenses and mirrors. Other applications include decontamination of surfaces by removal of hazardous and radioactive contaminants.
