Once epoxy is fully cured, it becomes an extremely tough plastic designed to withstand harsh environments. This makes it great for protection, but a challenge when you need to remove it.
In this video, we break down practical methods for removing cured epoxy while minimizing damage to the components underneath. You’ll learn why epoxy is so durable, what risks are involved in removal, and how to choose the best approach for your specific application.
Methods Covered:
Physical removal: sanding, chipping, and prying
Heat removal: softening epoxy beyond its glass transition temperature (Tg)
Chemical removal: safer alternatives to harsh solvents, including MG Chemicals 8309 and 8310A
⚠️ Disclaimer: None of these methods are guaranteed. Removing cured epoxy always carries a risk of damaging underlying components. Proceed carefully and use appropriate PPE.
Featured Products:
MG Chemicals 8309: Liquid conformal coating remover for full submersion
MG Chemicals 8310A: Gel remover for targeted, localized application
Both products are biodegradable, metal-safe, and free of SVHCs, making them safer alternatives to traditional strong solvents.
