Types of Paint Removed:
This chemical remover can remove most varieties of paints and varnishes
which are oil or water based including latex, alkyds, stains, enamels, lacquers
and clear paints. Unlike other paint removers, this remover can remove more
difficult coatings such as two part epoxy and urethanes.
Surfaces:
PreTox 7000 will work on almost any surface. PreTox 7000 will not damage
or affect any substrate, will not cause wood grain to raise and will not
cause lead to leach into the substrate.
Mixing:
Mix to a creamy consistency using a drill mixer and a mixing bar such as
a jiffy mixer. If product freezes, let thaw and stir vigorously until product
is consistent.
Storage:
Store with container tightly sealed. Keep from freezing.
Preparation:
Mask areas not being stripped with polyethylene and masking tape.

Clean-up:
No neutralization is needed. Clean up with water.
Drying:
PreTox 7000 Paint remover is designed to remain wet for long periods of
time. Should the product dry out, misting with water will reactivate the
remover for removal.
Coverage:
Figure coverage based on wet mils (1 wet mil = 1600 sq. ft.). A 15 mil application
will cover about 105 sq. ft. and a 30 mil application will cover roughly
50 sq. ft.

Recommended Application Methods
|
|
PreTox 7000 Paint remover may be applied by several techniques, including
brush, trowel and spray. Industrial spray equipment is the recommended method.
When using an airless sprayer, it is important to either remove pump and
spray gun filters or to use a 20 mesh filter or larger. Larger tip
sizes .035+ are recommended with airless spray equipment for best production
rates. PreTox 7000 Paint remover will easily cling to vertical surfaces.
Use application tools to fill detailed, intricate or grooved surfaces. For
best results, apply at temperatures above 60°F, temperatures below 45°F
will need extra dwell time.
For removing 3-4 layers of paint quickly:
Apply PreTox 7000 Paint remover to the substrate at 15 mils (1/64").
Allow product to dwell from 15 minutes to 2 hours. Remove using any of the
recommended removal techniques. Weather conditions and coating type will
affect dwell time.
For removing multiple layers or stubborn coatings:
Use a small test patch to work out amount of remover and dwell time
needed for thick or stubborn coatings. Apply PreTox 7000 Paint remover at
30 mils (1/32"). The patch should then be checked after 2 - 4 hours and
then periodically afterwards. As a rule of thumb, the greater the layers
of paint, the longer the dwell time needed. The remover will usually remove
8 - 12 layers of paint in 24 hours. More layers of paint or more tenacious
coatings may take longer (2 - 3 days).

Important Note: Effectiveness of PreTox 7000 Paint remover
depends on the integration of PreTox with the paint residue. Only sufficient
application of PreTox will ensure adequate control of lead leachability.
PRETOX 7000 PAINT remover DOES NOT RENDER OLD PAINT NON-TOXIC; IT REDUCES
THE LEACHABILITY OF PAINT RESIDUE. Sample, test, and dispose of all waste
according to federal, state and local regulations.

Recommended Removal Methods
|
|
PreTox 7000 Paint remover can be removed by a variety
of means. Some suggestions follow.
Metal Surfaces:
Agitate or rough up remover/paint layer on the surface with a wire brush
without attempting removal. This helps to lift the bottom layers from the
surface. Use a razor blade scraper or stiff putty knife to remove remover
and paint from the surface. Use a wire brush with light amounts of water
to remove any residue remaining.
Plaster Surfaces:
For flat surfaces, use a 4" or wider razor blade scraper (commonly known
as a wallpaper remover) to remove remover/paint. For decorative plaster,
use a molding scraper to lift remover/paint from the surface. Use a stiff
bristle brush with light amounts of water to remove any remaining residue.
Wood Surfaces:
For flat surfaces, easiest removal is achieved with stainless steel
scraper or drag scraper. Use a stiff bristle brush with small amounts of
water to remove any remaining residue. Remove from decorative wood using
the same techniques as those for plaster.
Masonry:
Concrete Surfaces: Remove bulk of remover/paint with a stiff putty knife
or wire brush. Use a wire brush with small amounts of water to remove any
remaining residue. In some circumstances, pressure washing is effective.
|
|
Waste Sampling:
Sample and test all waste streams according to federal, state and local
regulations. Use EPA or ASTM sampling procedures.
Important Note: Any paint residue remaining on a surface
should be removed within a short period of time so that the residue will
not dry up and re-adhere. In some circumstances, it may look like the last
layer of paint is still on the surface. This is not a dried layer of paint,
but paint and remover that has been emulsified and can be removed as described
above.

|
Safety goggles are recommended for eye protection. Protective
gloves such as butyl rubber,
neoprene gloves are also recommended. Maintain adequate ventilation,
especially in confined areas. If spraying or misting is expected,
use NIOSH approved chemical cartridge (organic vapor) respiratory equipment,
(full face recommended). In case of inhalation, remove victim to fresh
air and provide oxygen if breathing is difficult. In case of eye contact,
flush with large quantities of water. In case of skin contact, wash
skin with soap and water and use emollient skin creams. In case of
ingestion, do not induce vomiting. Call physician immediately.
