less dangerous photoresist striper chemical

manojroy123

We have to use caustic soda as a stripper for striping photoresist. It is a very dangerous chemical and it eats away our hand and skin. Can anyone suggest better photoresist stripper chemical which is less expensive and less dangerous.

    It's an industrial process, the chemicals won't be completely friendly. If you're DIY'ing for a prototype then you're not using a lot anyway. Isn't caustic soda about the cheapest chemical ever? I can't imagine significantly cheaper chemicals. It might be sold under other names (check your household DIY stores, it's a consumer item).

    If it's eating hands and skin perhaps you're using too much. Just a teaspoon of granules is usually enough. If you're not using gloves then wash any accidental splashes immediately. Wear eyewear too.
