MULTI-STRIP ADVANCED

PROFESSIONAL PAINT REMOVER-NMPFREE

TECHNICAL DATA SHEET

I. Description: Multi-Strip

Advanced 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, NMP

or caustic. Multi-Strip

Advanced 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

Advanced 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

Advanced can remove more

difficult coatings such as two part epoxy, and

urethanes. Multi-Strip Advanced is also effective on

mastic, adhesives, and glues

III. Surfaces: Multi-Strip

Advanced 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

Advanced 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 Advanced 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 Advanced

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.
