How to Choose a Remover

When choosing a remover, consider these important questions before making your buying decision:

• What is the polymer type of the coating to be removed? Is it solvent based or water based?
• What is the thickness of the coating?
• What are the ambient conditions: temperature, evaporation rate, humidity, and air movement?
• Does the coating remover description indicate that it can remove the coating type?
• Will the coating remover have the potential to damage the concrete substrate or change its color or overall appearance?
• Can the coating remover harm the environment?
• Is the coating remover VOC compliant in the area it will be used in?
• What personal protection equipment is required (refer to the product's MSDS)?
• Are there any flammability concerns and can all ignition sources be eliminated?
• Can mechanical removal be used if all else fails?
• What ventilation concerns must be met? Is evacuating surrounding areas necessary?
