Product Description
DILUNETT® is a powerful, water washable solvent free paint stripper that will remove any oil and alkyd based paint, varnish or wood stain. Requiring no supervision or immediate removal of the softened coating, DILUNETT® strips up to 8 coats of finish in one application. Suitable for virtually any surface including wood, metal, plastic and GRP, DILUNETT®’s gel consistency means it will not run, making it ideal for vertical surfaces and elaborate plaster or wood designs needing to be stripped. Easy to apply, DILUNETT® dissolves paint in the smallest recess and on the finest detail, softening all accumulated layers for simple, clean removal. VOC free and non flammable, DILUNETT® is safe to use in poorly ventilated or confined areas.

Note: The use of hot water makes the job easier.
