Applications of RFH-D9-355-5W UV Laser in Plastic Housing Paint Stripping
Jan 08 , 2026
The RFH D9 5W 355nm UV laser, boasting excellent beam quality (M² < 1.2) and ultra-short pulse width, has become a game-changing tool for plastic housing paint stripping in industrial scenarios. Adopting advanced non-contact photochemical ablation technology, it can selectively vaporize paint layers on the surface of plastic workpieces, without causing any damage to the underlying plastic substrate— a significant advantage over traditional chemical stripping and mechanical grinding methods.
Core Application Fields
• 3C Electronics Manufacturing: It is perfectly suited for paint stripping of plastic housings in smartphones, computer keyboards, and various electronic peripherals. For ABS, polycarbonate, acrylic and other common plastic materials, the laser realizes precise removal of aging or defective coatings, laying a solid foundation for subsequent re-marking or re-painting processes, while ensuring zero surface deformation of the workpieces. The ultra-short pulse design minimizes the heat-affected zone, effectively protecting the precision and structural integrity of delicate electronic components inside the housings.
• Automotive Interior Parts Processing: Targeting plastic components such as dashboard trim panels, door handle covers and central control buttons, the 5W 355nm UV laser achieves high-efficiency paint stripping with fine control. It can handle complex surface textures and tiny corner areas that are hard to reach by traditional tools, ensuring consistent stripping effect across the entire workpiece surface, and meeting the strict quality standards of the automotive industry.
• Household Appliance Production: In the manufacturing of plastic shells for refrigerators, washing machines and small kitchen appliances, the laser solves the problem of uneven paint stripping and substrate damage caused by chemical agents. It supports batch processing with stable performance, improving production efficiency while reducing the environmental pollution brought by chemical waste liquid, aligning with the trend of green manufacturing.
Core Advantages
1. High Precision & Zero Damage
The 355nm UV wavelength has strong absorption with paint layers and weak absorption with most plastic materials, realizing selective stripping. The 5W output power balances efficiency and precision, avoiding over-processing and ensuring the original surface finish of plastic substrates.
2. Eco-friendly & Cost-effective
It eliminates the need for chemical reagents and mechanical consumables, reducing the costs of raw materials and waste treatment. The non-contact processing mode also reduces the wear of equipment and workpieces, lowering the overall maintenance cost of the production line.
3. Flexible & Adaptable
It can be seamlessly integrated into automated production lines, matching with robotic arms and vision positioning systems to handle workpieces of different shapes and sizes. The parameter adjustment is simple and fast, adapting to the paint stripping requirements of various types of paint and plastic materials.
