On top of this, when it comes to metal surfaces, you’ll find the effects of this paint stripper hard to beat. It stays wet and active for up to 24 hours, offering sufficient time to strip off old paint or varnishes from your metal furnishing in one go with minimum effort. Low-VOC: These usually require an application of ⅛ inch to ¼ inch and dwell time of 3 to 24 hours before paint can be removed. Users will need to follow up with a rinse of water or mineral spirits (no neutralization needed). Shoppers who are stripping old paint in homes built pre-1978 will want to first test with a lead paint test kit. If the test is positive, it’s important to choose a paint stripper labeled for use on lead paint (these strippers may fall into any of the four categories of paint strippers above and usually come in a paste or gel form to trap lead particles and keep them from going airborne). Application The Health & Safety Executive (HSE) allows very low levels of exposure to sodium hydroxide in the workplace (Sodium Hydroxide, STEL 2mg/m3). What Type of Paint Stripper to Use? The formula of this biodegradable paint stripper, which is free of methylene chloride and NMP, imparts no nasty fumes as it removes paint (including lead-based), varnish, and urethane from wood, metal, masonry, and other surfaces, indoors and out.

When it comes to removing multiple paint layers, there are only a few paint strippers that can beat the strength of the Confined Space paint strip gel. It can easily remove multiple layers of paint from metal, including aluminum, steel, and cast iron. Lay a chemical-resistant tarp over the floor and any furniture that can’t be moved out of the room. Historically, solvent based paint strippers used to contain an ingredient called methylene chloride. As this chemical compound posed many different health risks, the European Union banned the use of this chemical in paint strippers for consumers in 2010. The use of methylene chloride products is now restricted to workshops only, so proof of this will be required before purchasing any paint strippers with methylene chloride. Furthermore, make sure to keep the room well-ventilated while applying the paint stripper to avoid the buildup of harsh fumes. All paint strippers are more or less hazardous, so wear chemical-resistant gloves, safety glasses, protective clothes, and a respirator while using them. 3. ApplicationDo you want to keep the natural look of the wood, or will the wood be recoated in a different colour paint? Zero-VOC: These paint strippers can break down the resins of water- and oil-based paint to loosen it from metal, masonry, and, to an extent, wood. They’re less effective at removing epoxy and polyurethane. The non-methylene chloride formula also ensures that you don’t encounter any fatal carcinogenic effects upon exposure to the paint stripper for a long time. Thus, you can safely and efficiently remove paint and other coatings using this aerosol paint stripper. The Sunnyside paint stripper is one of the fastest-acting paint strippers on the market, removing paint in as little as 30 minutes. Q. How do I dispose of paint stripper? Whether you need to use caustic or solvent paint stripper depends entirely on the coated surface, what paint has been used and the condition of the coated surface.

The Sunnyside Ready-Strip paint remover works beautifully on oil and water-based paints, so you can use it to remove acrylics, latex, and oil paints. It works faster than ordinary paint strippers and can remove multiple layers of paint and varnishes within a few hours. Deane Biermeier, a licensed contractor and carpenter, and a memberof The Spruce's Home Improvement Review Board Removing paint that’s soaked into the porous surface of masonry can be a challenge. This paint remover works to break the molecular bonds in paint, making it capable of lifting spray paint, aerosol paint, enamel, and other paint types from porous concrete. Speaking of safety, the product is surface-safe and can be an ideal option for easy paint cleanup without ruining the underlying surface. You can conveniently strip off multiple layers of latex paint using paint rollers, brushes, or scrapers while the metal surface remains as good as new. Different types of paint strippers perform better on certain surfaces. Shoppers will want to choose the paint stripper that’s best suited for the intended surface application:Solvent: The most versatile paint strippers, solvent products rely on toxic chemicals to loosen the bond between paint and surface. While some have methylene chloride, which has a high VOC content, others include a combination of alcohol, toluene, and methanol. High-VOC products generally have smellier fumes and are more of a health hazard than other strippers. Solvent: Directly inhaling the fumes of solvent strippers can damage the brain or reproductive system, so always wear a respirator in addition to safety glasses, skin-covering clothing, and gloves made of a chemical-resistant material like butyl.
