Lemon Peel – Water Soluble Paint Stripper

Lemon Peel is a powerful low odour, citrus smelling, chemical paint stripper which is user friendly. It readily attacks and lifts single pack paints. Two pack paints can be softened with prolonged exposure but may not be lifted so readily.

Lemon Peel is based on a water miscible solvating chemical that has low volatility. Therefore it has very low odour, and its vapour does not add to greenhouse effects nor does it affect the ozone layer like the solvents in most paints and strippers. It contains no Methylene Chloride unlike other old technology strippers.

In use, “Lemon Peel” is spread over the surface in a rather thick layer of 0.5 – 1mm, and ideally covered with sheets of plastic to prevent drying (will stay wet for up to 24 hours) and enhance penetration into the paint layer. It can then be removed by scraper and finally washed down with hot soapy water using a scour pad and then hosed off with fresh water, prior to sanding and repainting.

Coverage

Average of 1-2 square metres per litre corresponding to a 0.5 to 1mm thickness.

We put Lemon Peel up against Soy Gel, currently the best water based, safe to use paint stripper that will work through multiple layers of paint. Tests with Lemon Peel have shown it is equally as good as Soy Gel if not better. The secret to enabling multiple layers of paint to be removed is keeping it wet. This is easily done by applying a generous layer (0.5 to 1mm thick) of Lemon Peel onto the area to be stripped and covering with a lightweight plastic sheet such as glad wrap.
