Vapormatt’s water assisted stripping process (WASP) for paint removal by wet blasting has been developed specifically for aircraft wheel and brake shops involved with the maintenance, repair and overhaul.
Using a specially configured wet blasting machine with plastic media, soaps and high powered nozzles, the WASP process is ideal for washing, degreasing and paint removal of aircraft wheels and brake components.
Using typically lower air pressures and a “scrubbing” media, WASP is able to remove paints, oils and greases without damaging the underlying substrate. This is a highly controllable process that can be adapted easily, making it ideal for unskilled manual operations.
Due to the abrasive nature of WASP, this means no solvents are required while ensuring very long machine life as a result of the low pressures and gentle wet blasting action.
