Bison (armoured personnel carrier) stripped with Greensolv 273C

Coating System & Substrate

  • Enamel.
  • Catalyzed epoxy primer.
  • 2 coats of CARC (green & white).
  • Average Thickness : 10- 15 mils.
  • Substrate : steel.

Reason for stripping

  • Bison was sent on UN missions and needed complete strip and repaint procedure.

Application

  • Total of 60 kg (0.33 drum) of Greensolv 273C were used.
  • 2 to 3 applications Greensolv 273C were sprayed on the Bison.
  • Temperature : 22°C (72°F).

Results

  • The multiple coats of CARC were stripped rapidly (16 hours). The Bison was stripped at approximately 95% after an overnight process.
  • Details and welded joints were more difficult to strip. It took some mechanical abrasion to remove the coating on those details and joints.

Conclusion

  • Excellent alternative to sandblasting and grit blasting.
  • Does not create rust on the steel substrate.
  • Great for local repairs.
