paint removal products
- There are several types of paint removal products available, each designed for different surfaces and paint types. Here are the most common categories:
1. Chemical Paint Strippers
- Solvent-Based Paint Removers: These contain strong solvents to dissolve paint layers. They are effective on a wide variety of paints (latex, oil-based, etc.). Examples include methylene chloride-based products, though many modern formulations are methylene chloride-free due to health concerns.
- Caustic Paint Removers: These are typically alkaline and work by breaking down the chemical bonds of the paint. They are effective on oil-based paints but can harm some surfaces if not used correctly.
- Eco-Friendly or Low-VOC Paint Removers: These are made with less harmful chemicals, like citrus-based or soy-based strippers. They are safer for the environment but may take longer to work.
