Why SARA Technology?
The vast majority of chemical paint removers currently produced have proven
harmful to both the environment and you in one fashion or another.
Several forms of environmentally advantaged removers have since been developed
because of tougher regulations and calls for from the industry, but few
are as effective against the tough, high performance industrial coatings
that are in use today.
Napier's
SARA Technology - the industry difference. Products based on
this technology are biodegradable, non-toxic, non-irritating and offer a
cost effective method of removing old paint systems. A substitute for traditional,
hazardous removers, these products can be used where abrasive blasting or
high pressure water jetting could not be performed.
Products based on SARA Technology have
a unique formulation consisting of three main components:
|
| |
|
water |
moisture barrier |
active ingredients |
|
|
|
Once the product has been applied to a
painted surface, the active ingredients start traveling down through the
paint. They open the pores of the paint, allowing the product to penetrate
all the way down to the substrate. When these ingredients have reached the
substrate, an internal chemical reaction takes place by which oxygen gas
is released from within the chemical remover. The bond between the coating
system and the substrate is destabilized and the pressure created by the
oxygen breaks that bond completely and releases the paint from the surface.
|
|
|
|
In the meantime, the Moisture Barrier
begins to rise to the top of the remover and forms a protective layer that
prevents the remover from drying. In an indoor setting, the remover may
stay wet and active for up to four days.
|
|
|
|
When the bond has been released, the paint
lifts off the surface in relatively large pieces or chips and sometimes
it even falls off in sheets. Pressure washing removes the lifted paint and
residue from the substrate, which is left clean and ready for re-painting.
Therefore, de-coating procedures are greatly simplified and costs are dramatically
lowered.

|
|
|
While the active ingredients are traveling
through the coating, it may seem like nothing is happening. Be assured that
if the SARA product is wet on the surface of the paint, the active ingredients
are hard at work. Allow them time to reach the substrate. The dwell time
will depend on the thickness and toughness of the coating, but while the
remover is doing the work, you have time on your hands for other revenue
producing jobs.
