Paint Stripper

DESCRIPTION :

PAINT STRIPPER (PS-101) is a Polar Solvent based paint specially formulated for use on most commonly encountered surface coatings, including alkyd based gloss paints, PU Varnishes, Vinyl and Acrylic emulsions. The product is a smooth, free flowing viscous liquid, demonstrating excellent cling to vertical surfaces and incorporating strong polar solvents to breakdown and blister multiple layers of paint in a single application. On most conventional coatings, the user will see an instant effect whereby the paint will blister layer by layer allowing easy removal to be completed with a suitably sharp spatula or scrapper. This product is also effective in removing specialized industrial paints such as two pack epocy coatings, cellulose laquers, traffic paints and power coatings to reveal ideal surfaces on hardwoods. Brickwork, ceramic tiles, cast iron mouldings and structural metalwork including aluminium and galvanized steel. PS-101 is suitable for use on Hardwood timbers.

1)                BLISTERS AND LIFTS PAINT WITHIN MINUTES

2)                CLINGS TO VERTICAL SURFACES AND IS WATER WASHABLE

3)                FAST ACTING SOLVENT BASED FORMULA

HEALTH & SAFETY

PS-101 (PAINT STRIPPER) us based on volatile organic solvents such that all preparation work should take account of the need to restrict and prevent contact with harmful substances. Ensure the working area is well ventilated by opening all doors and windows, or provide LEV where this is not possible. Do not use in areas where there are any sources of ignition and protect surrounding surfaces and furniture using heavy duty polythene sheeting, cleaning up all spillages immediately from untreated areas.

HAZARDS CLASSIFICATION : HARMFUL

Ø     Keep locked up and out of reach of children. Wear suitable rubber/PVC gloves, PVC Overalls, safety boots and eye/face protection.

Ø     If swallowed do not induce vomiting – seek immediate medical assistance. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Wash splashes off

Ø     Skin immediately and remove affected clothing for prompt laundering, when using DO NOT smoke.

APPLICATION

Providing the test patch has demonstrated a successful outcome, application of PS-101 (PAINT STRIPPER) to the entire area can proceed. Isolate the application area, provide all available ventilation and in public area post notices to alert passers-by of the danger from contact with any HARMFUL residues and odours likely to be present whilst work proceeds. Only decant PS-101 in to a HDFC open top container. DO NOT use a plastic vessel as this may be rapidly degraded.

Apply to the surface using a brush, ensuring a consistent layer (1 to 2mm thick) is achieved and that it penetrates into all crevices and corners. Do not cover an area of greater than 0.5 square meters at any one time and when the coating begins to blister after about 10 minutes apply more paint remover onto the layers being revealed below. After about 30 minutes removal of the stripping compound can proceed by using a sharp spatula or trowel to lever the blistered paint away from the surface to reveal the bare substrate. The use of a sharp point to strip corners and recesses along with prompt re-application of PS-101 may help achieve a consistent final finish. Collect all paste residues in to newspaper or dust sheets and place in a marked open container outdoors. The rapid evaporative properties of PS-101 will further reduce the presence any residual harmful solvents prior to the container being sealed for disposal. The stripped surface should be thoroughly washed down with soapy water. In situations were wood laminates, veneers & hardwoods have been stripped, the use of white sprit is more appropriate to achieving the optimum clean surface finish.

COVERAGE

The consumption of paint remover depends on the depth applied and the texture of the surface. On a flat even wall at 2mm depth, 10 liters of PS-101 will be sufficient to cover upto 10 sq. meters. Always assess the test patch before estimating how much product will be required, as repeat applications to the older layers of paint beneath the “top coat” may necessary.

STORAGE

Packed in 1 & 5 Liter HDPE Containers, sealed with a child resistant closure and cap insert. This product should be kept in cool ambient conditions away from sources of heat or exposure to sunlight behind glass.
