At Phibro-Tech, we produce an environmentally sensible alternative to cyanide and chrome-based strippers for the removal of copper from heated and treated steel. Alk-Cu-Strip® is used by many aerospace and automotive manufacturers because of its superior stripping rate and the recyclability of the spent solution.
