Safety

Handle with care.

These are the most chemically aggressive products we make. Follow the safety data sheet — we supply it on request with every order.

Simple rules.

Ventilate the workspace. Wear chemical-resistant gloves and eye protection. Keep away from open flame. Don't mix with other cleaners.

For paint remover, neutralise the stripped surface with clean water and allow it to dry fully before re-coating. For rust remover, rinse thoroughly and prime within 24 hours before flash-rusting sets in.

  1. 1

    Ventilate

    Work outdoors or in a space with cross-ventilation. These products release vapour.

  2. 2

    PPE

    Chemical-resistant gloves, safety goggles, long sleeves. No open flame.

  3. 3

    Dwell

    Brush on generously. Let the chemistry do the work — don't rush the dwell time.

  4. 4

    Neutralise

    Rinse with clean water. Allow to dry fully before the next stage.
