CONTAMINANTS
AN EXAMPLE OF
CONTAMINANTS WE TREAT
Industrial laser restoration and cleaning is a highly precise method for restoring surfaces, removing various types of contaminants from different surfaces. It provides an environmentally friendly and efficient non-contact method for removing a wide range of contaminants from various surfaces without damaging the original substrate. From rust and coatings to graffiti and oils, industrial laser restoration and cleaning technology offer versatile applications in diverse industries and settings.
At Advanced Laser Cleaning Australia, we bring advanced knowledge of the individual elements of contaminants and their impact on surfaces and environments, and the required custom solutions and settings of the laser science to address each contaminant on each surface.
Whilst industrial laser restoration works on most contaminants, an example of common contaminants we treat may include:
RUST REMOVAL AND OXIDES
Rust and oxide layers on metal surfaces not only affect their appearance but also compromise their structural integrity. Industrial laser restoration and cleaning offers a safe and efficient solution for removing these contaminants. By vaporising rust and oxide layers without damaging the metal, laser ablation restores surfaces to their original condition, preventing further corrosion and ensuring long-term durability, extending the lifespan of your asset.
COATINGS
Coatings such as paint, varnishes, and thermal barrier coatings can deteriorate over time, leading to aesthetic issues or functional problems. Industrial laser restoration and cleaning provides a meticulous method for stripping away coatings and restoring the surface/s without harming the underlying substrate. This is crucial for preserving the integrity of surfaces while preparing them for reapplication or restoration.
GRAFFITI
Graffiti vandalism can have a negative impact on the appearance and value of structures and communities. Industrial laser restoration and cleaning offers a highly effective and environmentally friendly approach to graffiti removal. By precisely targeting and eliminating graffiti from different surfaces, including concrete, wood, metal, and stone, industrial laser restoration and cleaning restores the original substrate and appearance of the surface without causing damage or leaving residual marks.
MOULD
Mould growth not only damages surfaces but also poses health risks that can affect the quality of life. Industrial laser restoration and cleaning provides a thorough and safe method for removing mould from various materials and restoring the surface, ensuring complete eradication while safeguarding structural integrity and surrounding environments, helping to prevent the recurrence of mould-related issues.
BACTERIA AND BIO-HAZARDOUS CONTAMINANTS
Bacteria and bio-hazardous contaminants can pose serious health risks in environments such as healthcare facilities and laboratories. Industrial laser restoration and cleaning offers a powerful disinfection and decontamination solution, eliminating these harmful substances from surfaces. By delivering high-energy laser pulses, it effectively sterilises objects and equipment, ensuring a safe and hygienic environment.
VARNISHES AND ADHESIVES
Varnishes and adhesives can be stubborn contaminants that are difficult to remove without causing damage. Industrial laser restoration and cleaning provides a precise and gentle approach for effectively ablating varnishes and adhesives. This method preserves the integrity of the underlying material, making it ideal for delicate surfaces such as furniture, artwork, and industrial equipment.
PAINTS AND THERMAL BARRIER COATINGS
Removing paints and thermal barrier coatings requires a careful balance between thorough removal and preserving the substrate. Industrial laser restoration and cleaning excel in this regard by selectively vaporising paint and coating layers without harming the underlying substrate. We offer a precise and efficient solution for applications in industries such as automotive, aerospace, marine, construction, infrastructure and manufacturing.
RUBBER
Rubber residues or coatings on surfaces can impact their performance or aesthetics. Industrial laser restoration and cleaning provides a safe and efficient solution for removing rubber contaminants. By precisely ablating and vaporising the rubber, industrial laser restoration and cleaning ensures complete removal without damaging the substrate, maintaining the functionality and appearance of surfaces and equipment.
INK
Ink stains on various surfaces can be unsightly and difficult to eliminate. Industrial laser restoration and cleaning offers an effective method for ink removal without causing damage to the substrate. By selectively targeting and breaking down ink particles, industrial laser restoration and cleaning restores the surface to its original condition, ensuring a clean and professional appearance.
OIL AND GREASE
Oil and grease residues not only compromise the appearance of surfaces but can also lead to safety hazards and functional issues. Industrial laser restoration and cleaning provides a non-contact and precise solution for removing oil and grease contaminants. By ablating and vaporising these substances, industrial laser restoration and cleaning restores surfaces to their intended condition, improving both aesthetics and functionality.
FATS
Accumulated fats, oils, and food residues in kitchen and food processing environments can lead to hygiene and safety concerns and are often difficult to remove in their entirety. Industrial laser restoration and cleaning effectively removes these contaminants, ensuring a clean and hygienic workspace. By safely eliminating fats and food residues, industrial laser restoration and cleaning helps maintain compliance with health and safety regulations, restoring surfaces to their original condition, and optimising everyday cleaning requirements, helping to reduce labour costs.
FIRE ASH AND SOOT
After a fire incident or within industrial settings, surfaces are often covered in ash and soot, which can be harmful and difficult to remove. Industrial laser restoration and cleaning offers a thorough and safe method for eliminating fire residues. By vaporising ash and soot particles, industrial laser restoration and cleaning ensures the complete removal of particles, reducing the risk of health issues and restoring surfaces to their pre-fire condition.
DRIED PUR FOAM (RIGID POLYURETHANE FOAM)
Dried PUR foam, commonly used in insulation and construction, can be challenging to remove without damaging the substrate. Industrial laser restoration and cleaning provides a precise and non-abrasive solution for eliminating dried PUR foam from surfaces. By vaporising the foam, industrial laser restoration and cleaning allows for safe and effective removal, restoring surfaces without compromising their integrity.
