Product Description
Surface preparation
Remove any loose and flaking paint.
Brush off any physical surface contamination i.e. moss, general dirt etc.
Application
Apply a thick coat of Dilunett over the whole surface to be stripped. For woods rich in tannins, work large areas in zones to avoid excessive darkening of the wood.
Allow product to work.
Remove DILUNETT® and dissolved paint with a stiff nylon scrubbing brush or paint scraper while flushing with water, alternatively use a pressure washer (max 60bars / 870psi).
NB: The use of hot water makes the job easier.
Thoroughly rinse the surface with fresh clean water.
After stripping and rinsing. All porous surfaces must be immediately treated with Net-trol while still wet to neutralise the surface.
Clean up
Dilunett is biodegradable and solvent-free so all you need for clean up is water.
Restrictions
Dilunett will not remove the following types of coatings 2 pack or baked on paints. Polyurethane paint and varnish.
Do not use on “weak” woods such as veneers.
Do not use on aluminium.
Things to remember
Always carry out a preliminary test to determine the contact time required for stripping.
Wear chemical resistant gloves, safety goggles and protective clothing.
For best results on wood, do not let Dilunett work longer than required to dissolve the paint.
Hardwoods, especially those rich in tannins (Teak, Oak, Sapele, Chestnut etc) can turn dark if in prolonged contact with Dilunett.
Where Dilunett has darkened the wood DO NOT allow it to dry, prior to using Net-trol.
Treat stripped wooden surfaces with Net-Trol to restore the woods original colour.
Cover and protect everything you do not wish to strip, including plants and shrubs.
Apply between 5°C and 35°C. Do not apply in direct sunlight or on a hot surface.
Do not allow Dilunett to dry on the surface. If drying occurs dampen with mist application of water.
Consult Owatrol for additional information and advice prior to using Dilunett on Oak and Chestnut.
