I Europe chemical dipping is a pain in the ass afterwards as that chemical fluid isn't rinsed all the way and creates several issues even months after.
Thermal paint stripping ( in a vacuum controled container) is a better option these days in Europe.
JP,
Yes, thermal paint stripping is also very common but does not remove existing corrosion.... (which seems to be already present

).
At the end it is about the best solution for a given project.
From the website mentioned above:
-“chemical paint stripping” process consists of several steps and stages in different media. Only “paint stripping” in an immersion bath does not make technical sense and is not common practice
- The chemicals used in the paint stripping process are basically the same as today's pre-treatment in the vehicle manufacturers' paint shops, only longer / more intensive
- no acid is used for paint stripping
- Bodies that have been “chemically stripped” at Carblast Fahrzeugtechnik GmbH have, without exception, undergone the steps “paint stripping”, “washing”, “rust removal”, “passivation”, “washing”, ‘neutralization’
- a final “cathodic dip priming” is a mandatory procedural conclusion to the “chemical paint stripping/rust removal” process

Their recommendation is to analyse the project and decide with the customer what to do.... (they also do the thermal stripping

)
Sorry, only in German....
