PAINT REMOVER

What is Epifanes Paint Remover and why choose it

Epifanes Paint Remover is a water-based, green-colored remover designed to strip various coatings, including almost all one- and two-part coatings, varnishes, antifoulings and epoxy-based paints. It is safe, odorless, pH neutral and biologically degradable. The product does not contain lyes, acids or biocides and is harmless to the substrate, making it suitable for delicate surfaces where traditional aggressive paint removers may cause damage. Its non-evaporating formula works effectively on vertical and overhanging areas and can be applied in full sunshine and even below freezing temperatures.
