Tests
confirm that formulations utilizing
Gaylord
Chemical
's
DMSO are highly effective in the removal
of
durable coatings.
Gaylord
Chemical Company, L.L.C.
has
developed data showing the utility of
DMSO
solvent
blends in removing a wide spectrum of surface finishes and primer
coatings
including Epoxies, Polyurethanes, and Polyesters. The
stringent performance requirements for aerospace top coatings and primer systems
(weatherability, UV resistance, corrosion protection) create a challenging
environment for those who must facilitate the removal of these coatings. Blends
utilizing
Gaylord
Chemical'`s DMSO
help
you meet the challenge by effectively
removing
these durable finishes, without harming the surface
or
the user
!
