Stripping paint with soy by Let's Clean

If paint stripping were that easy, no-one would ever complain about refinishing furniture, restoring hardwood floors or stripping varnishes from wood. Let's Clean Pty Ltd is selling a soy-based paint stripper. It is safe and easy to use and has no odour. SoyGel is biodegradable and designed to remove paints and other finishes quickly and effectively.

The main ingredient of SoyGel is soy methyl esters and one of the primary benefits of SoyGel is that it removes lead-based paint effectively. Removal of lead-based paint is usually expensive and hazardous but necessary.

Lead poisoning can cause permanent damage to the brain, resulting in reduced intelligence and behavioural problems. Approximately 1.7 million children have blood lead-levels above safe limits, mostly due to lead-based paint hazards at home.

When lead-based paint is chemically removed, it is usually hazardous. Traditional, methylene chloride is used to strip lead-based paint. Methylene chloride is a know carcinogen and creates a hazardous environment during use as well as a waste disposal problem. SoyGel contains no methylene chloride, making this method of lead-based paint removal safe and effective.

SoyGel can remove multiple layers of paint quickly, in as fast as 3 minutes for some types of paint. The gel formulation allows the product to adhere to surfaces, making it easy to strip vertical areas. With such a strong paint removal product projects are completed faster, cutting down on labour costs. SoyGel is non-toxic and has low volatile organic compound levels, making it safe for indoor use, in fact, it can be used safely in schools, hospitals and businesses without interrupting ongoing activities.
