DCM and NMP in paint and finish removers

van de Mark. MR, Sandefur, KD, and Durham, KA 2004

Abstract  Introduction The term finish denotes the final process of manufacturing. Finishing operations include addition of clear coat polymers like varnishes or lacquers, painting, plating, anodizing, phosphatizing, galvanizing, and blueing, all of which take place at the terminal point of manufacturing. Finishing is defined as the process of coating or treating a surface for the purpose of protecting and/or decorating the product (1). The useful life of most objects is greater than the life of the finish. This results in a periodic need to remove and replace the finish. Many times the appearance of the item is outdated and the finish is removed to allow a more modern finish to be applied. An organic or inorganic chemical solution or a mechanical process, such as media blasting, may be used to lift or remove the finish. Antiques, household furniture, kitchen cabinets, pianos, aircraft, and buildings can have their useful life extended by removing the old coating and applying a new one. Original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) remove coatings from rejected parts to avoid scrapping the items. Finish removers are used to remove lead paint from woodwork, windows, or entire buildings to reduce the risk of human exposure to lead. There are > 104 different industries that use finish removers (2). The use of and need for finish removers will probably expand with the increasing importance of recycling (qv), refinishing, and the restoration of durable items.
