Laser Cleaning
Non-contact laser technology that cleans with pinpoint accuracy.
The Future of Surface Cleaning
How to Remove Rust, Paint, and Oil Without Damaging the Surface.
Laser cleaning is a non-contact, eco-friendly surface treatment method that uses high-energy laser beams to remove rust, paint, oil, oxides, and other contaminants from metal, stone, plastic, or glass surfaces.
Unlike sandblasting or chemical stripping, laser cleaning precisely targets unwanted materials without damaging the base surface.
It works by directing a focused laser pulse that heats and vaporizes surface contaminants or causes them to break away through micro-explosions, leaving a clean and intact substrate.
Ideal for industrial, automotive, and heritage restoration applications where precision and safety matter.

The main difference between pulsed and continuous wave (CW) lasers lies in how they emit light: continuous lasers produce a constant, steady beam of light, while pulsed lasers emit light in bursts or pulses with gaps of no light in between.
CW lasers have a 100% duty cycle, meaning they are always on, while pulsed lasers have a much lower duty cycle.
If you need a steady, consistent light source, a continuous laser is appropriate. If you need very high peak power for short durations, a pulsed laser is better suited.
Through laser ablation, the laser beam sends just enough energy to remove contaminants without affecting the base metal. This is possible because metal substrates have a higher ablation threshold than contaminants. The high cleaning quality of the laser means that no impurities can penetrate the base metal during the process as opposed to traditional methods.
Laser cleaning can remove most types of coatings, including powder coating, e-coating, and phosphate coating. The coating removal speed mostly depends on the type of coating and its thickness. It can be sped up with more laser power.
Laser cleaning can remove aluminum oxides and stainless-steel oxides, making it ideal to prepare surfaces for other processes like laser welding and coating to make sure no contaminants penetrate the welds or lower adhesion. Laser can also be used for post-weld cleaning for performance or aesthetic purposes.
Fiber laser cleaning systems can remove rust and general corrosion. These contaminants can be completely removed with no damage to the substrate.
Laser texturing is a surface treatment that can be done at the same time as laser cleaning to modify the surface texture. Micropatterns can be etched on the surface to improve properties like adhesion, wettability, conductivity, and friction. It is used as a pre-treatment for processes like thermal spray coating, adhesive bonding, and laser cladding.
Eco-friendly, low-maintenance, and built for long-term savings.
Why More Professionals Are Replacing Chemicals and Sandblasting with Lasers:
Laser cleaning is an environmentally friendly process that replaces cleaning methods that rely heavily on consumables such as sandblasting
and chemical cleaning. With a low energy consumption, a compact design, and a laser source with a long operating life, fiber lasers have a real impact on your ability to greenify your processes.

The Future of Surface Cleaning
Why Laser Cleaning Leaves Sandblasting in the Dust
When it comes to surface preparation and industrial cleaning, traditional methods like sandblasting, chemical stripping, and abrasive grinding have been the norm for decades. But they come with serious downsides—health hazards, mess, equipment wear, and high operating costs.
Laser cleaning is changing the game by offering a cleaner, safer, and more cost-effective alternative. Here’s why businesses across the Caribbean are making the switch:
Feature | Laser Cleaning | TDITIONAL mETHODS |
---|---|---|
Surface Damage | None | Often causes wear/scratches |
Environmental Impact | Eco-friendly | Hazardous chemicals/waste |
Operating Costs | Low (no consumables) | High (media, PPE, disposal) |
Precision | Highly targeted | Broad, less controlled |
Operator Safety | Safe (low exposure) | Risk of inhalation, contact |
Setup & Cleanup Time | Minimal | Extensive |
Regulatory Compliance | Easier to meet | Often requires extra permits |
