The
PEEL AWAY I System is an environmentally safe method of removing up
to Thirty two (32) layers of paint in a single application from most
surfaces and there are NO FUMES AND NO FLAMMABLE SOLVENTS. The System
includes a paste that is spread or sprayed over the surface to be stripped
and then covered with a fibrous laminated paper with controls evaporation,
and is left on until all of the paint is dissolved for easy collection
of the waste. The laminated paper is then removed with the bulk of the
paste and paint adhering to it and the stripped surface is washed clean
and neutralized. PEEL AWAY I works best when oil/lead based paint is
the prime coating on the surface. Coverage is 15-20 sq. feet per gallon
PEEL AWAY I is especially suited for the removal of lead based paint
and restoration of old historical buildings.
THREE
MAJOR ADVANTAGES FOR USING PEEL AWAY I FOR LEAD PAINT REMOVAL ARE:
1)
By applying the PEEL AWAY paper over the paste, the paint is kept in
a wet or damp state preventing hazardous lead particles from getting
into the air or onto the surrounding area.
2)
When the stripping job is finished and the PEEL AWAY paper is removed,
the bulk of the paste and lead paint comes off intact onto the PEEL
AWAY paper for easy collection of the waste and proper disposal.
3)
The PEEL AWAY I product contains lime which starts to stabilize the
lead paint being removed and there is a good chance that the solid waste
(PEEL AWAY and paint) will be under 5ppm leachable lead taking it out
of a hazardous category in terms of disposal. A TCLP test is done to
make this determination.
