Chemical decoating is a process that gently removes a PVD coating without destroying the substrate material. Chemical decoating uses different types of procedures, reactions, and chemicals, which can be applied depending on the material from which the coating is to be removed and, in particular, on the type of coating to be removed. For example, methods advantageously used to remove Ti-based layers (TiN, TiAlN, TiSiN etc…) cannot be used to remove Cr-based layers (CrN, AlCrN, DLC, WC:C etc…) and vice versa. PVDeCoat s.r.o. uses a wide range of decoating methods and is able to chemically remove the vast majority of today's standard industrial coatings without destroying the substrate material.

PVDeCoat s.r.o. also uses unique chemical processes to remove very thick layers from metal shielding and coating equipment components. The coatings are removed in a non-destructive method, without damaging of the component.
