MULTI-STRIP

PROFESSIONAL PAINT REMOVER

TECHNICAL DATA SHEET

I. Description: Multi-Strip

is a unique,

environmentally safe paint remover designed to

remove up to 15 layers of paint in one application. The

new and improved version better penetrates multiple

layers and easily removes difficult coatings. Another

new feature is that a light application can quickly

remove a few layers of paint when time of removal is

important. It is biodegradable, non-flammable, non-

combustible and contains no methylene chloride or

caustic. Multi-Strip

is odor-free and can be easily

cleaned up with water. As a paste it clings easily to

vertical surfaces and completely fills detailed areas.

For application, it can be brushed, rolled or sprayed on

to the surface with a paint sprayer. In addition, it

creates less waste for easy disposal. It requires no

neutralization (neutral pH).

II. Types of Paint Removed: Multi-Strip

can remove

most varieties of paints & varnishes which are oil or

water-based including, latex, alkyds, stains, enamels,

lacquers and clear paints. Unlike other paint removers,

Multi-Strip

can remove more difficult coatings such

as two part epoxy, and urethanes. Multi-Strip is also

effective on mastic, adhesives, and glues

III. Surfaces: Multi-Strip

can be applied on a

multitude of interior and exterior surfaces including

wood, brick, plaster, metal, marble, masonry, stone,

concrete, and fiberglass, etc. Multi-Strip

will not

damage plaster or wood (it will not discolor the wood or

raise the grain like other paint removers) or affect any

substrate it is applied to. It is not to be used on

sheetrock, plastic, rubber or linoleum surfaces.

IV. Instructions:

A. Preparation - Mask any areas not being stripped

with plastic and masking tape.

B. Application -

1. Test Patch - Since it is often hard to know the type

or the amount of paint on a surface, small test areas

should be stripped to determine the proper application

and dwell time needed for paint removal to occur.

1. For stripping 3 to 4 layers of paint

quickly - Apply Multi-Strip™ to the surface at a total of

approximately 1/64" thick (10 to 15 mils) with a brush,

roller, trowel, putty knife or sprayer. Can be sprayed

effectively using an airless sprayer Drill mix before

spraying - Remove filters from sprayer & spray gun -

Submerge pump directly into remover, Do not use

suction hose - Use NEW 1/4" or 3/8" airless hose.

Use at least a 1 GPM piston sprayer, .019-.021

reversible spray tip; A wet mil gauge should be used to

measure thickness. Let the product dwell from 15

minutes to 4 hours. Follow Removal Techniques at

Subdiv. C. Coverage for both, when used like this will

vary between 100 and 150 sq. ft. per gallon.

2. For removal of multiple layers or

stubborn coatings – Two test patches are suggested.

(i) First Test Patch - Apply the

stripper approximately 1/32" thick (30 mils) to the

surface. The patch then should be checked for dwell

time as follows (only a portion at any one time): Check

the patch first at 2 - 4 hours, then periodically

thereafter. As a rule of thumb, the greater the layers of

paint, the longer the product should be left on. The

stripper will usually remove 8 - 12 layers of paint in 24

hours. More layers of paint (20+) may take longer (2 -

3+ days). Due to the nature of certain paints such as

two part epoxy and urethanes, Multi-Strip™ may need

more time to be effective. Average dwell time for these

coatings may be 48 to 72 hours.

(ii) Second Test Patch - In some

areas, some surface coatings (usually latex) soften

easily, causing puffing away from the surface. In these

cases, the stripper works differently so the patch

should be done as follows:

a). Apply a light coat of paint stripper (approximately 5 - 10 mils) to the surface. Wait 2 - 6 hours. If the surface starts to pull away, the top layers have lifted from the surface and can be easily removed with a scraper or knocked off the surface with a broom or other device. The paint remover has penetrated through these layers and begins to soften the remaining layers. b). While the undercoats are still soft, apply another coat of stripper at approx. 1/32" thick (20-25 mils) to the surface.
