Heat Induction

What is Heat Induction?

Induction technology removes coatings by applying controlled heat directly to the steel surface. This process loosens the bond between the coating and the steel, allowing it to be removed in strips or flakes rather than dust or debris.

This method is especially effective on thick and durable coatings such as epoxy, rubber, fireproofing, and reinforced systems. It works best on steel surfaces with sufficient thickness and can achieve high removal rates on accessible areas.

Because the coating is removed intact, there is significantly less waste and no airborne particles, contaminated water, or abrasive media. This results in a cleaner, quieter, and safer work environment compared to traditional methods like blasting or water-jetting.

HIGHER STRIPPING RATES
Reduced docking time or optional to even carry out work at sea without disrupting normal operations.

MINIMIZED WASTE DISPOSAL
In contrast to use of grit or UHP, the method does not add any grit or water media that needs transport, processing and disposal.

ENVIRONMENT

  • Easy waste containment.
  • Minimal risk of local contamination.
  • About 75% less energy consumption compared with traditional methods.
  • Use of RPR Induction for coatings removal gives no grit or water deposits. Therefore, transport cost and emissions is reduced to a minimum.

OPERATOR FRIENDLY

  • No high pressure
  • Quiet operation
  • No air-born dust emissions
  • Less protective gear needed

Most importantly – the RPR Technologies coatings removal system is safe for the operator or nearby workers carrying out other maintenance or inspection work.
