Recycle or Reuse? A money Savings Comparison with Aquastrip ACB

Case Study

Many manufacturers spend considerable amounts on masking materials, with expenses ranging from $5,000 to $50,000 or more annually. Despite being necessary, these materials add little value to the final products. Recognizing this expenditure, Hubbard-Hall identified a cost-saving opportunity for their client. First, a proper tank with a filtering system, circulation, heating, and baskets should be implemented to handle the paint-stripping process. Additionally, suggesting the use of Aquastrip ACB to strip and reuse masking materials significantly reduced costs. 

Aquastrip ACB, a paint stripper made from a blend of water, surfactants, non-hazardous solvents, activators, and inhibitors, is also defined by the following:

  • Used on most metals and stripping parts.
  • Biodegradable for easier waste treatment.
  • Masking materials can be stripped and reused 6-7 times, producing less waste.
  • Non-hazardous solvents ensure a safer work environment.
