Is Laser Cleaning Harmful to the Environment?

No! Laser cleaning is a dry process and avoids the use of traditional surface preparation methods such as corrosive chemicals, solvents, or abrasive materials. These methods can generate hazardous waste, contaminate water, and release harmful fumes and dust, which may be harmful to both the environment and workers.

Are there other ways Laser Cleaning benefits the Environment?

Yes! Laser cleaning allows you to re-purpose or reuse items that may have ended up in the landfill. Reducing landfill waste is beneficial to the environment. Reusing or repurposing also reduces manufacturing and transportation costs of new, replacement products.

Is Laser Cleaning portable?

Yes! The Laser Cleaner can be used at client site. No special power is required.

Applications for Laser Cleaning?

Laser Cleaning can be used for rust and paint removal, surface preparation for welding and bonding, mold cleaning, and restoration of historic structures or stone surfaces. This non-contact, precise technique is valued for its ability to selectively remove contaminants like dirt, grease, and oxides without damaging the underlying material.

Benefits of Laser Cleaning?

Some examples include:

- Instead of replacing kitchen or bathroom cabinets, Laser Cleaning can remove the finish, leaving the cabinets ready for new stain or paint, and keeping the cupboards out of the landfill

- Removing rust, grease and paint from metal surfaces such as BBQ’s, automotive parts, cast iton, etc.

- Furniture can be resurfaced to be sold, reused or donated.

- Laser Cleaning can quickly remove graffiti from most stone or brick surfaces.

Does Laser Cleaning cause surface damage?

Laser cleaning is a non-contact process using focused light to remove various coatings, leaving the underlying surface un-touched. It does not wear down or damage the underlying surface, extending the lifespan of surfaces and reducing the need for replacement.

Is Laser Cleaning safe?

Yes, Laser Cleaning is safe if correct safety precautions are followed. Some of these precautions are:

- Wearing eyewear that blocks the wavelength of the laser light.

-  Using barriers that block any reflected laser light.

- Adequate dust and fume removal equipment.

- Understanding the work area and identifying any potential hazards.

- Identifying the material being cleaned to understand any potential risks.
