Increasingly
stringent environmental and consumer safety concerns have led for-
mulators to explore new materials as replacements for paint stripping solvents
such
as methylene chloride, toluene, methanol and n-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP).
With
the need for safer alternatives also comes the inability to sacrifice performance.
DMSO offers a unique combination of low toxicity and high solvent
strength, making it an ideal solvent for stripping paint from a variety
of
surfaces.
