Owatrol Marine Strip, Paint And Antifouling Stripper

Product Description

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