What is Laser Cleaning?
The energy of a focused laser beam is used to ablate – break molecular bonds and vaporize – unwanted material, be it contaminants or coatings on a surface. The technology can effectively remove corrosion, residue, paint, and other substances without damaging the underlying substrate.
This process is non-contact, controlled, and precise, allowing for the selective removal of unwanted layers.
Laser cleaning is rapidly becoming adopted in various industries due to its precision, efficiency, eco-friendliness, and the minimal damage it causes to the surface being cleaned.
What can laser cleaning remove?
Laser cleaning can remove corrosion, oil, epoxy, paint, powder coatings, oxides, rubber, radioactive particles, carbonaceous deposits, electrolytes, anti-rust coating, and other contaminants and coatings.
Can laser cleaning remove thick layers of rust or paint?
Yes, laser cleaning can effectively remove thick layers of corrosion and coating; severe cases may require processing with a combination of a high-power continuous wave laser and a low-power pulsed laser.
How does laser cleaning affect the base material?
When used properly, laser cleaning does not damage the base material that is worked on. For the cleaning of thin metals and heat-sensitive materials, choose one of our finishing-grade laser systems.
How does laser cleaning compare to other cleaning methods like sandblasting?
Laser cleaning is a contactless, no-consumables cleaning method that is safe for the operator and the environment. In contrast, sandblasting relies on abrasive media to remove materials, can damage the underlying surface, and generates hazardous waste that can be harmful to the environment.
Do I need to come to you?
No, Grand Laser's team of specialist can arrive at your site or home and provide a consultation, quote and in most cases, immediately begin work.
How much will this innovative and groundbreaking technology cost me?
Every project is unique, but overall laser cleaning is more efficient - cost and time - than traditional cleaning methods. Grand Laser can provide same day consultations and quotes. Factors affecting price can include location, the material being cleaned and levels of contamination. Grand Laser can provide quotes by project, by hour, or by square footage.
