Liquiguard Technologies BioStrip
BioStrip is a novel blend of environmentally friendly compounds formulated into a non-toxic, highly effective paint stripping system. This unique product contains 15% bio-renewable carbon and its high loading capacity allows it to be filtered and reused. BIOSTRIP is an excellent alternative to hazardous and low flash point materials such as methylene chloride, NMP and acetone that are commonly used for stripping applications.

- Application
Flat or vertical surfaces :; Apply 1-2 mils of stripper to substrate. Allow suffcient time forpaint to lift off. Remove with a plastic paint scraper. Typically a dwell time of 45 to 60 minutes is suffcient for waterborne 2-part urethanes and other coatings. Dwell times needed to remove coatings are dependent on the coating's thickness, type and age, as well as the porosity of the surface. A second stripper application may be necessary in some cases.; Dip/Immersion tank applications :; Soak coated materials in BioStrip (ambient temperature) until coating blisters or falls off. Intricately detailed parts may require mild brushing to remove coating from the design's crevices.; Performance Data : The data below outlines typical performance of BioSTrip for removing various types of coatings. Removal time will vary depending on coating thickness and surface temperature.; Strip time = 20 to 30 minutes; Strip time = 3 hours; Strip time = 10 to 20 minutes; Strip time = 45 to 60 minutes

BioStrip is a solvent blend and performs its stripping function differently from industry standard strippers like methylene chloride or NMP. Bio-strippers like BIOSTRIP need time to work as the stripping mechanism is different from petroleum-based solvents. BIOSTRIP penetrates paints and coatings and works by breaking the bond between the coating and the substrate. Petroleum-based strippers work by dissolving the coating which ultimately creates a time and material consuming mess. Thus, it is important to give BIOSTRIP time to delaminate the paint or coating from the substrate.
- Slightly Soluble In
- Water
- Performance Characteristics
Ideal for removing acrylics, enamels, epoxies, lacquers, latexes, moisture-cured coatings and urethanes from most substrates.; High flash point.; High loading capacity makes BIOSTRIP last longer.; Low evaporation rate allows for long stripper on substrate dwell times and lower volume use due to fewer reapplications resulting from solvent evaporation before the coating is removed.; Will not harm aluminum, composites, concrete, metal, steel or wood.
- Compatible Substrates and Surfaces
- Aluminum
- Concrete
- Metal
- Steel
- Wood
- Environmental Profile
Contains no carcinogenic or toxic compounds.; Contains no peroxides, methylene chloride, NMP or other dangerous chemicals.; Contains no ozone depleting chemicals, no hazardous air pollutants (HAPs) and no global warming compounds.; No SARA reportable components.; Readily bio-degradable.; VOC compliant per EPA and CARB regulations.
