Cost effective because:

• Requires much less chemical to achieve desired results
• Reduces man-hours and effort required to complete a project
• Reduces cost of waste disposal

RemovALL™ 320 All Purpose Architectural Paint Remover has proven it will effectively lift thin film urethanes, lacquers, latexes, alkyd paints, and elastomerics from many types of substrates, including vinyl floor coverings and other types of flooring.

RemovALL™ 320 All Purpose Architectural Paint Remover has virtually no odour, making it ideal for indoor paint removal projects.

Typical projects include:

• Interiors of buildings and homes
• General paint removal
• D.I.Y. markets for paint removal
• Safe on vinyl composite tile (VCT)
• Hospitals
• Institutional flooring
• Coating and sealant stripping

This product is engineered for spray or brush application. Airless sprayers are recommended.

Use only equipment with chemical resistant components such as a Hero 85 SEL. A typical medium size airless sprayer is capable of spraying this product. Equip the sprayer with a tip size of 0.019 inches or larger. (Example: a 519 or 425 tip).

Other equipment: brushes, short nap rollers, scraper, masking tape, polyethene sheet, pressure washer, electric drill with mixer, empty pails for clean-up, running water, rags.

Above 55°F (13°C). If working in cooler temperatures expect a longer dwell time. Keep from freezing.

(a) MASKING: Cover / protect areas where the paint is to be left on. This includes adjoining surfaces where over spray may travel. Polyethene sheets make a very effective barrier. If using masking tape, apply two layers of tape and remove the top layer immediately after application as the remover may soak through the tape, damaging paint under it. Plants should be covered or washed thoroughly with water before and during application.

(b) MIXING: Never shake RemovALL™ 320 All Purpose Architectural Paint Remover! Shaking will cause product to separate. Using a drill mixer, mix product until it is uniform in colour and creamy consistency. (About 1 minute per gallon).

(c) EQUIPMENT: Remove all filters from the pump, sprayer and gun. Prime the pump and run stripper through the hose and gun until all previous water / solvent / paint residue has been cleaned out.

Conduct a small test patch in an inconspicuous area to ensure product performance.

This will indicate the time required for project completion, suitability of product for paint and substrate, and most effective removal method.

Apply a thick, even layer of stripper onto the coating being removed. An airless sprayer is the most effective means for application. Always start the sprayer pump at the lowest pressure setting and slowly build up the pressure until an adequate fan pattern has been generated. High pressure and narrow tip sizes will break the stripper’s emulsion and will destroy its effectiveness. The stripper must be applied 1.5 to 2 times the thickness of the coating being removed, i.e 20 mills of coating requires 28 to 40 mils of stripper to be removed effectively. When trying to build up films thicker than 30 mils (600 microns), or when trying to apply the stripper on a glossy or greasy vertical surface, it is advisable to build the stripper film in two separate applications. First apply a light coat of approximately 15 mils (300 microns), thick enough to hide the surface colour of coating and allow it to dwell for 5 to 30 minutes and then build the rest of the stripper film thickness in a second application. Once applied, leave the stripper alone, as agitation slows down penetration.

If using a brush, make sure the underlying surface is completely coveredFirst apply a light coat of approximately 15 mils (300 microns), thick enough to hide the surface colour of coating and allow it to dwell for 5 to 30 minutes and then build the rest of the stripper film thickness in a second application. Once applied, leave the stripper alone, as agitation slows down penetration. If using a brush, make sure the underlying surface is completely covered with RemovALL™ 320 All Purpose Architectural Paint Remover.

For removal if thin film urethanes RemovALL™ 320 All Purpose Architectural Paint Remover can be applied with a mop, roller or a squeegee. Dwell time is between 30 to 60 minutes.

Janitorial floor machines can be used for agitation and removal of coating and stripper residue.

A generous water rinse will complete the removal process.

If poor adhesion exists between paint layers, the remover may lift the coating between weak layers.

If this happens, remove the lifted layers with a dry scraper and re-apply RemovALL™ 320 All Purpose Architectural Paint Remover. Do not rinse with water between applications. While the removal process is taking place do not allow the stripper to dry on the surface.

If it starts to dry, re-apply the stripper.

The time required for penetration varies according to the type of paint, the thickness of the paint, and the temperature. Most paint systems require between 1 to 24 hours.

RemovALL™ 320 All Purpose Architectural Paint Remover can be left overnight, but do not allow it to dry out.

If you are trying to remove wax, the process should not take longer than 30 minutes to 1 hour.

Approximately 30 to 120 sq.ft./Gal. (1 to 2.2 sq.m./L) depending on the type of paint and thickness of the coating(s) to be removed.

Removal of residue can be completed by scraper, squeegee, mop, wet/dry vacuum system or by high pressure washer.

Be careful if using a high pressure washer on porous surfaces as it may damage the surface. A floor cleaning machine can also be used by going back and forth over the floor with the buffer funtion and then using the vacuum funtion to suck up the residue.

For wood projects, remove lifted paint with a scraper first then lightly rub with an abrasive nylon open web hand pad (i.e. Scotch-Brite™) to remove remaining paint from the wood grain.

Proper safety procedures should be followed at all times while handling the product.
