Description ALLPRO® Marine Remover™ is a fast acting, premium thick and brushable paint stripper. It is the strongest remover for multiple layers of paint, epoxy and polyurethane. Marine Remover can be applied to wood, masonry, metal and concrete.

 

Prominent Features

» Thick, brushable paste
» Removes most synthetic finishes
» Clings to vertical and horizontal surfaces
» Fast acting
» Non-Photochemically reactive

 

Uses Ideal for removing paint, polyurethane, epoxy, and enamel.

 

Limitations Do not use on linoleum, plastic, rubber, asphalt tile, fiberglass, or other synthetics.

 

Surface Preparation Carefully read all cautions and instructions. Protect hands with solvent-resistant gloves and eyes with safety glasses.

 

Application Carefully read all cautions and instructions before use. Pour Marine Remover into a metal container and apply with a brush. If applying to a vertical surface, begin application at the bottom. Brush on a thick, liberal coat to one small area at a time, up to 3' X 3'. Brush in one direction only because brushing back and forth will destroy the built-in evaporation retardant and reduce effectiveness. Allow stripper time to work. It will loosen most finishes in 10 - 30 minutes. Remove loosened finish by gently scraping in the direction of the wood grain with a flat scraper.

 

Clean Up Wipe surface with mineral spirits. A toothbrush or pointed stick will remove finish from recesses. Surface must be clean and dry before refinishing. Clean up used rags, paper and waste promptly. Take residual material outdoors, allow liquid to evaporate, and then dispose in a metal container in accordance with state, local, and federal regulations. Do not mix with any other product.

 

Disposal Contains organic solvents which may cause adverse effects to the environment if disposed of improperly. Place empty containers in normal refuse for disposal. Contact your local sanitation department or household hazardous waste coordinator for information concerning possible reuse or disposal of unused solvent-containing products.

Technical Information

WARNING! Using this product will expose you to Methylene Chloride which is known to cause cancer. DANGER! May be fatal or cause blindness if swallowed. Vapro harmful. Skin and eye irritant. Contains Methylene Chloride, Xylene, Petroleum Distillate, Dipropyl Glycol Methyl Ether and Methanol. Methylene Chloride has caused cancer in certain laboratory animal tests. Risk to your health depends on level and duration of exposure. Reports have associated repeated and prolonged over exposure to solvents with neurological and other physiological damage. For further information, refer to the Material Safety Data Sheet. This product should not be used frequently or on a regular basis without properly engineered air control systems designed to prevent exceeding appropriate TLV. It is intended for occasional use only. Whenever possible, use outdoors in an open air area. Do not use in areas where vapors can accumulate and concentrate such as basements, bathrooms or small enclosed areas. USE ONLY WITH ADEQUATE VENTILATION TO PREVENT BUILDUP OF VAPORS. Open all windows and doors. Use only with a cross ventilation of moving fresh air across the work area. If strong odor is noticed or you experience slight dizziness, headache, nausea, or eye-watering - STOP - ventilation is inadequate. Leave area immediately. Do not take internally. Avoid prolonged or repeated breathing of vapors or mist and contact with skin and eyes. Contact of liquid or vapor with flame or hot surfaces will produce toxic gases and a corrosive residue that will cause deterioration of metal. Close container after each use. Do not reuse this container. For OSHA controlled work place and other regular users - Use only with adequate ventilation under engineered air controlled systems designed to prevent exceeding appropriate TLV. For occasional use, properly maintained and properly fitted NIOSH approved self-contained breathing apparatus for chlorinated solvent vapors. A dust mask does not provide adequate protection against vapors. Cannot be made non-poisonous! FIRST AID - IF SWALLOWED, call your poison control center, hospital emergency room or physician immediately for instructions to induce vomiting.
