I am working on a project to chemically dissolve polyester powder paint and a clear thin-film polyester decal backer from aluminum parts without attacking the aluminum. I have formulated a liquid chemical that dissolves and removes the polyester powder paint when the parts are immersed in the 190ºF solution for 3 to 5 minutes. The polyester decal backer, however, is not even touched, no matter how long the time or how high the temp. Can your experts suggest any low or no-V.O.C. solvents, etc, or non etching ingredients I might try to dissolve the polyester decal backer?
Re: Without using free NaOH, how do you dissolve polyester film?
