Introducing the ICRALA Process: A Breakthrough in Corrosion Control
The ICRALA (Induction Coating Removal and Laser Ablation) Process combines the precision of laser ablation with the efficiency of induction coating removal to revolutionize corrosion control. Say goodbye to traditional methods like grit blasting that waste resources and harm the environment.
Why Choose ICRALA?
Precision & Efficiency: Our hybrid system expertly removes only corroded areas, preserving intact coatings and reducing project time.
Eco-Friendly: We use laser energy to remove contaminants and coatings, eliminating the need for harsh chemicals.
Cost-Effective: The ICRALA Process requires less equipment, labor, and materials compared to traditional methods, resulting in cost savings for our clients.
Versatility: The ICRALA process can be applied across a wide range of structures, from bridges and tunnels to industrial facilities and machinery. Its ability to handle large-scale corrosion removal as well as intricate, localized tasks makes it a versatile tool for a variety of corrosion control challenges.
Long-Term Protection: By removing corrosion at the source, our process extends the life of your assets and prevents future damage.

Induction Coating Removal: The first step involves our specialized heat induction coating removal tool, which separates the coatings without scratching or damaging the substrate.
Laser Ablation: Next, using a high-powered laser to precisely ablate surface areas, including corroded areas. This leaves a clean surface ready for coating application.
Quality Control & Inspection: Our team conducts thorough quality control measures to ensure that the surface is completely free of corrosion and coatings.
Surface Preparation & Coating Application: Since the ICRALA method works without changing the surface profile, the surface is now prepared for a new coating.
Long-Term Protection: With ICRALA, you can rest assured that your assets are protected from future corrosion damage for years to come.
Applications of ICRALA
Oil & Gas Industry: The ICRALA Process is ideal for removing corrosion from pipelines, storage tanks, and other equipment in the oil and gas industry.
Marine Industry: Our system can be used on ship hulls, offshore platforms, and other marine structures to prevent corrosion and extend their lifespan.
Industrial Structures: From bridges to power plants, our process can effectively remove corrosion and protect industrial structures from future damage.
