AN EXAMPLE OF
SURFACES WE TREAT
Industrial laser restoration and cleaning is a versatile and effective method for removing contaminants from various surfaces and restoring surfaces to their original condition. From glass and metals to concrete and wood, it provides a non-destructive and efficient method for surface preparation, restoration, and maintenance. Its wide range of applications makes it a valuable technology in various industries and settings.
At Advanced Laser Cleaning Australia, we treat a wide range of surfaces across a wide range of industries, ensuring custom solutions to safely and precisely restore surfaces to their original condition.
An example of surfaces we treat include:
SURFACE PREPARATION
Surface preparation is a critical step in various applications, and industrial laser restoration and cleaning excels in this area. Unlike traditional methods such as sandblasting or chemical cleaning, it offers several advantages. It effectively removes contaminants, coatings, and residues, restoring the surface to its original condition, ensuring a clean and well-prepared surface. Compared to sandblasting, which can damage the substrate, industrial laser restoration and cleaning is non-destructive, preserving the integrity of the material.
NON-DESTRUCTIVE TESTING
Industrial laser restoration and cleaning play a significant role in Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) due to its ability to remove contaminant layers that may hinder inspections. In contrast to abrasive methods like grinding or sanding, industrial laser restoration offers a precise and effective solution. It removes contaminants and coatings without causing damage, allowing for accurate and reliable NDT assessments. This makes industrial laser restoration an ideal choice for industries where precise inspections are crucial, such as engineering, aerospace or automotive.
GLASS
Glass surfaces require specialised cleaning methods to maintain their transparency and structural integrity. Industrial laser restoration and cleaning provide a non-abrasive and precise approach to restoring glass surfaces. It effectively removes mould, dirt, stains, coatings, and other contaminants without causing scratches, clouding or damage. In comparison to abrasive techniques like glass etching, it ensures the preservation of the glass's smooth and pristine appearance.
METALS
Industrial laser restoration and cleaning is widely utilised for the treatment of metal surfaces, offering superior results compared to traditional methods. It efficiently removes rust, oxides, coatings, and other contaminants, restoring the metal's original appearance and preparing it for subsequent processes and operation. Unlike chemical stripping or abrasive blasting, industrial laser restoration is non-damaging to the metal, avoiding the risk of surface degradation or alteration.
ALUMINIUM
Aluminium surfaces benefit from industrial laser restoration and cleaning due to its non-destructive nature and precision. It effectively removes contaminants without altering the surface structure or causing damage. In contrast, abrasive methods like sanding or blasting can leave scratches and impact the integrity of the aluminium, or clothe and chemical methods leave residue. Industrial laser restoration ensures thorough cleaning and restoration of aluminium components, sheets, and structures while preserving the original substrate.
CONCRETE / CEMENT
Concrete and cement surfaces can accumulate a range of contaminants, impacting their aesthetics and structural integrity. Industrial laser restoration and cleaning provides a precise and non-abrasive solution for removing dirt, mould, coatings, graffiti, and other substances from concrete surfaces. Compared to abrasive techniques like sandblasting and chemical washing, industrial laser restoration preserves the integrity of the concrete, preventing surface damage or roughening whilst also ensuring the complete removal of contaminants instead of multiple attempts of alternative methods, only to leave a residue.
MEDICAL AND STERILE EQUIPMENT
Maintaining cleanliness and sterility is essential in medical and laboratory environments. Industrial laser restoration and cleaning offers a non-contact and non-chemical method for disinfecting and decontaminating medical instruments, surfaces and equipment. Unlike harsh chemical cleaning methods, industrial laser restoration ensures the removal of bacteria and contaminants without risking damage to delicate equipment or introducing additional chemical residues.
PLASTICS
Cleaning plastic surfaces can be challenging due to their vulnerability to scratching or melting. Industrial laser restoration offers a controlled and restorative approach to removing dirt, coatings, adhesives, and residues from plastic surfaces. Unlike abrasive methods that can scratch or roughen plastics and leave residue, industrial laser restoration and cleaning ensures a thorough cleaning without compromising the integrity or appearance of the plastic.
TOOLS AND PARTS
Maintaining the cleanliness and functionality of tools and parts is crucial in various industries. Industrial laser restoration provides an efficient solution for removing contaminants, oils, and residues without the need for harsh chemicals or abrasive methods. Compared to chemical cleaning, which may leave residue or require multiple treatments, industrial laser restoration offers a dry and residue-free result, allowing for immediate use of the cleaned tools and parts.
STONE, MONUMENTS, AND ARTWORK
Preserving the integrity and aesthetic appeal of stone surfaces, monuments, and artwork is paramount. Industrial laser restoration and cleaning offers a gentle yet effective method for restoring these surfaces without causing damage. It removes contaminants and coatings, rejuvenating the appearance of stone materials while maintaining their original features. In contrast to abrasive techniques that can erode or alter the stone's texture, industrial laser restoration ensures precision without compromising the structural integrity of the monument or surface.
WOOD
Wood surfaces can be susceptible to dirt, coatings, soot, mould, bacteria and aging effects. Industrial laser restoration and cleaning provides a non-contact and controlled method for cleaning and restoring wood surfaces. It effectively removes contaminants without damaging the wood, allowing for its preservation and rejuvenation. In comparison to abrasive methods that may leave scratches or alter the wood's natural characteristics, industrial laser restoration ensures precision-driven results and restored surfaces without damage or residue.
INTERIORS
Industrial laser restoration and cleaning treats various interior settings, ranging from buildings to vehicles and aircraft. It efficiently removes dirt, stains, coatings, and contaminants from interior surfaces, restoring the original substrate, ensuring cleanliness and a healthy environment. Compared to traditional cleaning methods that may involve harsh chemicals or abrasive materials or cause damage to the substrate, industrial laser restoration offers a damage-free, precision-guided eco-friendly solution. It leaves no residue or harmful fumes, contributing to a safe and comfortable interior environment.
EXTERIORS
Exterior surfaces of buildings, structures, vehicles, and other outdoor elements are constantly exposed to dirt, mould, pollution, graffiti, and other contaminants. Industrial laser restoration provides a precise and efficient method for cleaning and restoring these surfaces, rejuvenating their appearance and protecting them from further degradation. Unlike abrasive methods that can damage or alter the surface or require multiple treatments, industrial laser restoration ensures controlled and non-destructive cleaning, preserving the integrity and longevity of the exterior materials.
