Paint stripper
- A paint stripper (also called paint remover) is a chemical solution designed to break down and remove paint, coatings, or finishes from surfaces such as metal, wood, plastic, and concrete. It is commonly used in industrial applications, automotive refinishing, and restoration projects.
* Types of Paint Strippers:
1. Solvent-Based Paint Strippers
- Contain strong chemicals like methylene chloride (DCM), acetone, or toluene.
- Work quickly and effectively on multiple paint layers.
- Require proper ventilation and safety precautions.
2. Caustic (Alkaline) Paint Strippers
- Use sodium hydroxide (lye) or potassium hydroxide to break down paint.
- Effective on oil-based paints but can damage some surfaces.
- Can cause corrosion on metals if not properly rinsed.
3. Biodegradable (Eco-Friendly) Paint Strippers
- Contain non-toxic ingredients like N-Methyl-2-Pyrrolidone (NMP) or citrus-based solvents.
- Safer to use but work more slowly than solvent-based options.
4. Heat-Activated Paint Strippers
- Work in combination with heat guns to soften paint for scraping.
- Useful for thick coatings but can generate fumes. # Paint stripper Manufacturer.
