Franmar Chemical (parent company of Blue Bear Brand) has created a product that strips away paints, urethanes, acrylics and more, without the bothersome odor and strenuous process of traditional strippers. Franmar Soy-Gel: Professional Paint & Urethane Remover is an industrial strength, consumer-friendly stripper that is safe for you and the environment. Non-caustic, non-hazardous and 100% biodegradable, Soy-Gel is made from 100% American-grown soybeans.
The virtually odor-free stripper stays wet and working for over 24 hours, and cleans up easily with water, removing multiple layers along the way. The unique formulation of Soy-Gel and it’s low evaporation rate make it possible to remove several layers of paint in one application, offering three times the coverage of traditional strippers. When used with lead-based paint, safety becomes paramount. Soy-Gel encapsulates lead inside it’s gel, preventing airborne lead particles and allowing for safe and easy disposal.
Soy-Gel paint remover takes multi-use and multi-surface to the maximum, as it is safe to use on wood, brick, stone, metal, plaster, concrete and many other surfaces. This non-toxic paint stripper can be utilized indoors and outdoors, as well as in horizontal and vertical applications. Soy-Gel can be used in a wide variety of situations, and is most commonly used for: lead-based paint removal, latex paint removal, enamel paint removal, single and 2-part epoxies (2-part solid count must be lower than 40%), urethane removal, varnish removal and even concrete hard surface sealer removal. The coverage alone makes the Soy-Gel worthwhile, with horizontal coverage up to 200 square feet per gallon, and vertical coverage up to 130 square feet per gallon.
