Paint strippers

Fosters’ Stripper-series

In contrast to sensitive materials such as aluminum and zinc, parts made of steel can be stripped in highly alkaline aqueous media without damaging the material. Foster Chemicals offers the so-called Stripper 303 series for this.

These products are divided into three different sub-series and used at temperatures between 80 and 105 ° C in an aqueous dilution of 40-60%.

Features of the three different Stripper 303 series:

  • Stripper 303 G series:
    • Two-phase in concentrate and dilution
    • Very inexpensive
    • Both foaming and non-foaming products
  • Stripper 303 S series:
    • Single-phase in concentrate / two-phase in dilution
    • Very quick paint stripping
    • Both foaming and non-foaming products
  • Stripper 303 NOS series:
    • Single phase in concentrate and dilution
    • Only for special cases
    • A so-called covering phase forms in the dilution (except for Stripper 303 NOS series), which has the advantages that
      • 1) Little water evaporates from the bath at the high temperatures
      • 2) Stock removal accelerators that are gradually added to the lower paint stripping phase. This significantly increases the service life of the bath.
    • These products are not taken back by Foster Chemicals as they cannot be distilled.

Stripal-series

Sensitive surfaces, such as aluminum, zinc, galvanized steel, non-ferrous metals, can only be treated with so-called soft paint stripping agents.

These paint strippers are based on high-boiling, CHC-free solvents with inorganic paint stripping accelerators.

Foster Chemicals offers the so-called stripal series for this.

These products are divided into five different sub-series and used undiluted (without adding water).

As a special service, Foster Chemicals takes back the used stripal products and regenerates them using its own distillation plant.

Until 2020, N-methylpyrrolidone (NMP) has been used in our aluminum paint stripping agents, which has recently been classified as reproductive toxic cat. 1b and is listed in the ECHA candidate list. All preparations with NMP from 0.5% are also classified in this way. For this reason, Foster Chemicals now only offers NMP-free products.
These products are not classified as toxic and can be used as replacements without technical disadvantages.

Sulfurex

Chemically resistant paints such as 2-component epoxy can be removed with Sulfurex.

It is a very strong paint stripper based on inorganic and organic acids and completely free of methylene chloride and N-methylpyrrolidone.

It is suitable for stripping paint from aluminum, steel and zinc and has a paraffinic covering phase to prevent the entry of humidity. Steel parts must be passivated after paint stripping with sulfurex and rinsing.

Formex

Formex a new cold paint stripper based on organic connections but completely free of methylene chloride and N-methylpyrrolidone. It is suitable for stripping paint from aluminum (e.g. rims) as well as steel parts.

It cannot be used for zinc and galvanized parts. It has a paraffinic covering phase in order to avoid the entry of humidity. Steel parts must be passivated after stripping with formex and rinsing.
