DESCRIPTION:

Master Peel is a brushable water-based paint remover that is biodegradable, very user-friendly, and environmentally safe. It is highly effective in removing even the toughest and most durable industrial coatings such as urethanes and epoxies from surfaces like metal, wood, masonry, brick and especially concrete. Master Peel provides superior stripping capabilities to lift urethanes, alkyd paints, latex paints, lead based paints and varnish, as well as most two component epoxy coatings and fusion bonded epoxies from all types of substrates, including concrete, masonry, steel, aluminium, and metal alloys.

Water Based, Fully Biodegradable, and Non-Flammable Formulation.

VOC Excemp product that contains no carcinigens, and does not deplete the ozone.

This product's stripping capabilties can save money over high cost mechanical stripping methods.

APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS:

Always apply to a test area prior to full application. This will show the time required for approximate project completion, suitability of product for paint and substrate, and most effective method.

Master Peel was designed for spray or brush application. Airless sprayers are recommended. Use only airless equipment with chemical resistance. A common medium size airless sprayer is capable of spraying this product. Equip the sprayer with a tip size of 0.02 inches or larger. (Examples: a 519 or a 425 tip). Other equipment should include brushes, rollers, scraper, masking tape, plastic sheet, high gpm and psi pressure washer, electric drill with mixer, empty pails for clean-up, running water, rags. Rollers are recommended for horizontal application only.

Cover and protect areas where stripping is not desired, including adjoining surfaces where over spray may travel. Plastic sheets have shown to be an effective barrier. If using masking tape, apply two layers of tape and remove the top layer immediately after application as the remover may soak through the tape, damaging paint beneath it. Plant life should be covered or washed thoroughly with water before and during application so as to not damage it.

It is not recommended to shake to mix. Using a drill mixer, mix Master Peel until all product is uniform in color and of a creamy consistency. (approximately 45 seconds per gallon)

Remove all filters from the pump, sprayer and gun. Priming the pump and running stripper through the hose and gun until all previous liquids/solids are rinsed is recommended.

Apply a thick, even layer of stripper onto the coating to be removed. An airless sprayer has shown to be the best means for application. Always start the sprayer pump at the lowest pressure setting, and slowly build up the pressure until the proper fan pattern has been generated. High pressure and narrow tip sizes will break the stripper's emulsion and affect it's integrity. Master Peel must be applied at approximately 2 times the thickness of the coating being removed. When trying to build very thick films, or when trying to apply the stripper on a glossy or greasy vertical surface, it is recommended to apply the stripper via two separate applications. First apply a light coat of approximately 12-15 mils, thick enough to hide the surface color of coating and allow it to dwell for 15 to 30 minutes and then build the rest of the stripper film thickness in a second application. Agitating Master Peel will only slow down it's properties. If using a brush to agitate, make sure the underlying surface is completely covered with Master Peel .

When there are multiple layers of existing material, it may be possible that there is inadequate inter coat adhesion between some layers. Premature de-lamination may occur at this inter face. If this happens, quickly remove the de-laminated layers and reapply the stripper. Do not rinse with water between applications. Do not allow the stripper to dry out. The stripper is designed to remain wet and effective over extended periods of time (up to 24-48 hours), however, excessive sunshine, windy conditions, or insufficient stripper thickness may cause early drying. If the stripper starts to dry, re-apply a light coat and allow an extended time frame for project completion.

The time required for adequate penetration tends to vary according to the type of paint, the thickness of the paint, and the temperature. Most paint systems require between 2 to 36 hours. Master Peel can be left overnight, but do not allow it to dry out.

Removal of lifted paint can be completed by scraper, squeegee, wet/dry vacuum suction system or by high pressure (above 3000 psi) power wash. Be aware that when using a high gpm and psi pressure washer, damage can be done to very porous surfaces. Pressure wash from the bottom up on vertical surfaces to prevent rinse water from deactivating stripper in sections below. The stripped surface must be rinsed with water to remove all chemical residue before repainting. Collect lifted paint and dispose of in accordance with local and federal government regulations. Do not collect and/or store removed paint and stripper waste residue in metal containers. Clean up spray equipment by running water through the equipment soon after the spraying has been completed.
