Whether for routine maintenance of hooks, racks, and fixtures or for reclaiming high value reject components, we can provide unique answers to your organic removal needs.  Kolene can solve your paint and powder stripping needs with processes that strip cleanly and quickly – we’re experts on removing even the most tenacious organic coatings from a wide variety of metallic substrates. 

More than 75 years ago, with the advent of electrostatic painting techniques, Kolene pioneered using molten salts for metal cleaning applications.  Kolene quickly adapted molten salts to strip hooks, racks, and fixtures.  Painters quickly discovered the benefits of increased transfer efficiencies and reduced rejects with clean racks. 

We now have systems that can strip in-line, on-line, and at normal line speeds – providing you with a clean rack every pass without labor or production interruptions.  Learn more about how our Kolene^® Kontinuous™ in-line stripping can improve your paint line quality and increase productivity by visiting Hook, Rack & Fixture Stripping – Molten Salt.

If you need to salvage and recoat high value components, consider Kolene^® Recover^®. We invented Recover, a unique mid-temperature organic fluid that easily removes cured paint, powder, and e-coat from a wide range of metallic substrates.  No one likes rejects, but with Recover we can produce a part that’s cleaner than new and recoat ready.  For additional information, please visit Reject & Salvage Stripping.
