The plastics used in automobile applications, such as bumpers and panels, pose significant challenges in disposal due to their complex compositions. Consequently, many automobile industries opt to recycle and reuse these plastic components instead of disposing of them. During the recycling process, plastic parts are heated to a specific temperature to melt and then reformed into desired shapes. However, if paint remains on the plastic surface during this process, the paint melts and mixes with the plastic, resulting in a composite material that is difficult to shape properly due to the paint content. Therefore, it is essential to remove the paint before recycling to ensure the purity of the recycled plastic. This research aims to identify a less hazardous paint remover solution using household products for effectively removing paint from automobile parts, thereby facilitating a more efficient recycling process.
