NuTech EcoSafe Strip High Performance
Water-based Non-toxic Paint Remover Suitable for High-Performance Coatings
Water-based Non-toxic Paint Remover Suitable for High-Performance Coatings
Available in 1Lt, 4Lt and 15Lt sizes.
EcoSafe Strip High Performance is proven to lift effectively:
Apply a thick, even layer of stripper onto the coating being removed. An airless sprayer is the most effective means of application. Always start the sprayer pump at the lowest pressure setting and gradually increase the pressure until an adequate fan pattern is generated. High pressure and narrow tip sizes can break the stripper's emulsion, rendering it ineffective.
The stripper must be applied 1.5 to 2 times the thickness of the removed coating, i.e. 20 mils of coating requires 30-40 mils of stripper to be removed effectively. When trying to build films thicker than 30 mils (600 microns) or applying the stripper to a glossy or greasy vertical surface, it is advisable to use the stripper film in two separate applications.
First, apply a light coat of approximately 15 mils (300 microns), thick enough to hide the surface color of the coating. Allow it to dwell for 5 to 30 minutes, and then build the rest of the stripper film thickness in a second application.
Once applied, leave the stripper alone, as agitation slows down penetration. If using a brush, ensure the underlying surface is completely covered with EcoSafe Strip High-Performance Paint Stripper.
When there are multiple layers of paint, poor intercoat adhesion may occur between some layers. Premature lifting may occur at this interface. If this happens, remove the lifted layers and reapply the stripper. Do not rinse with water between applications. Do not allow the stripper to dry out. The stripper is designed to remain wet and effective over extended periods (up to 48 hours). However, excessive sunshine, windy conditions, or insufficient stripper thickness can cause early drying. If the stripper starts to dry, reapply a light coating and allow extra time for completion.
The time required for penetration varies depending on the type of paint, its thickness, and the surrounding temperature. Most paint systems require between 2 and 36 hours. EcoSafe Strip High-Performance Paint Stripper can be left overnight, but do not allow it to dry out.
Coverage is approximately 1 to 2.2 sq m./L, depending on the substrate and coating to be removed.
Surface temperatures should be between 20 °C and 32°C. The product performs effectively at lower temperatures, even at 0°C, but the dwell time increases.
Lifting paint removal can be completed using a scraper, squeegee, wet/dry vacuum suction system, or a high-pressure (2,500-3,500 psi) water wash. Be cautious when using a high-pressure washer on porous surfaces, as it may damage the surface. Pressure wash from the bottom up on vertical surfaces to prevent rinse water from deactivating the stripper in the sections below. The stripped surface must be rinsed with water to remove all chemical residue before repainting.
Collect lifted paint and place it in plastic containers. Add EcoSafe Strip Ecozorb to absorb the remaining liquids and dispose of them following local government regulations. Do not collect and/or store removed paint and stripper waste residue in metal containers. Clean up spray equipment by running water through it soon after spraying has been completed.
