What it is and why choose it
DECAPANTE AGUA PATENTE INCOLORA Titan (product code 06G) is a professional, water-based stripper specifically designed to remove old antifouling coatings and aged "patentes" from surfaces previously primed with epoxy primers. Its formulation is particularly suitable for polyester hulls, as it does not attack the Gel-Coat when used correctly. This makes it a precise and efficient solution for shipyards, marine maintenance professionals and industrial users who need controlled stripping without damaging the underlying epoxy system.
Main features
- Water-based stripper for antifoulings and aged patent coatings.
- Specially formulated for epoxy-primed surfaces, ensuring compatibility with epoxy primers.
