Why Laser Cleaning in Aerospace?

Chemical Stripping

Aggressive chemical stripping agents are hazardous for employees, harmful to the environment, and risky for the base material itself. Increasingly strict regulations are making chemical stripping less practical within the aviation industry.

Sandblasting & Grit Blasting

Too aggressive for thin aluminum skins and precision components. Risk of material weakening, dimensional distortion, and surface damage — unacceptable in aerospace applications.

Laser Cleaning

The laser removes paint layers, coatings, oxidation, and baked-on contamination with absolute precision — without affecting the base material.

No chemicals.
No abrasion.
Fully controllable and repeatable.

The modern standard for advanced aircraft maintenance.

Our Aerospace Applications

Coating & Paint Removal

Removing old paint systems and coatings from aircraft fuselages, wings, and tail sections is one of the most time-consuming maintenance tasks in aviation.

Laser cleaning removes layers precisely and selectively — without damaging aluminum skins or carbon fiber composite structures.

Engines & Turbine Components

Turbine blades, compressor parts, and engine skins are exposed to extreme heat and contamination.

Laser cleaning removes oxidation, combustion residue, and corrosion from these critical components with surgical precision — without damaging coatings or base materials.

NDT Surface Preparation

Non-destructive testing (NDT) requires perfectly clean surfaces for reliable inspection results.

Laser cleaning creates the ideal surface condition for:

• dye penetrant inspection
• magnetic particle testing
• ultrasonic testing
  
  

Fast, precise, and without chemical residues.

Components & Structural Parts

Landing gear, wing joints, hydraulic systems, and structural components — laser cleaning removes corrosion, lubricants, and contamination without dismantling entire systems.

Ideal for MRO environments where downtime directly impacts operational costs.

The Benefits for the Aerospace Industry

No Damage to the Base Material

Aluminum, titanium, carbon fiber, and composite materials remain completely intact. The laser removes only the contamination layer.

Completely Chemical-Free

No hazardous stripping chemicals. No chemical wastewater.

Safer for employees and easier compliance with environmental and safety regulations.

Selective Layer Removal

Keep the primer while removing the topcoat — or vice versa.

The laser can be precisely adjusted to the exact removal depth, layer by layer and fully controlled.

Reduced Turnaround Time

Faster cleaning means less aircraft downtime.

Rayworks works efficiently and precisely to return aircraft to operation as quickly as possible.

Compliant with Aviation Standards

Our procedures and safety protocols are aligned with aerospace industry requirements.

We work with full documentation and traceability.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is laser cleaning suitable for composite and carbon fiber components?

Yes. The laser can be precisely calibrated to remove only the contamination layer without affecting the underlying composite material.

Can you work inside our MRO facility or hangar?

Absolutely.

Our mobile laser systems are fully self-contained and can operate inside hangars, MRO facilities, and airports — fully adapted to your operational environment.

Does laser cleaning comply with EASA and FAA requirements?

Laser cleaning is widely used throughout the aerospace industry worldwide.

We work with documented and traceable procedures and always adapt our methods to the certification requirements of your specific application.

In which regions do you operate?

Rayworks operates throughout the Benelux and surrounding European regions.

We come directly to your aircraft, facility, or maintenance location.
