How to remove paint from a plastic waste pipe

The first thing to do when considering removing paint from any plastic is to perform a compatibility test on a small area of the surface material to ensure there is no negative reaction and so avoid potential damage to the base material. There are a number of traditional methods of removing paint from various surfaces but none unfortunately are completely safe. Some are also deficient in their capacity to remove the paint effectively and require repeat efforts to accomplish the task. Even with that, they do not provide a clinically clean base for the effective application of a smooth new coat of paint. Since that is the desired outcome of the paint removal process, choosing an efficient paint removal product is essential to achieving the aspired objective. One of the tried and tested methods of paint removal is heat treatment. This proves a time consuming process that creates fumes and smoke which can cause respiratory problems and stinging eyes. The use of a blowtorch in the procedure can scorch the base material producing nauseating smoke, particularly on burnt wood surfaces and that is not a safe side effect. Another method is the use of electrical or manual sanders. This mechanical method is painfully laborious and produces a lot of dust which also causes respiratory problems and stings the operative’s eyes. A third method that is widely used over the recent past is solvents. They are notoriously accepted as harsh and sometimes toxic and operatives need to ensure they are not caustic – inflicting damage on the material surface. Solvents can also emit invisible but unpleasant vapours that can irritate the eyes and respiratory system so the product needs to be carefully vetted before deployment. At this juncture we have to ask the question – is there a fail safe paint removal product out there for general use?
