Paint Remover

Removers, or paint strippers, are chemicals used to remove paint or coatings from surfaces. They come in various forms such as liquid, gel, paste, or aerosol sprays. Paint removers contain ingredients like methylene chloride, N-Methy|-2- pyrrolidone, or citrusbased solvents to dissolve or soften the paint. They are applied with a brush, roller, or sprayer and require a dwell time for the chemicals to penetrate the paint layers. Once softened, the paint can be scraped off or rinsed with water. Safety precautions should be followed, including wearing protective gear and working in a well-ventilated area. Proper disposal methods should be followed as some paint removers are considered hazardous waste.
