    Remove adhesives and residue from a broad range of surfaces. These removers are effective on common adhesives, such as those found on labels and tape.
    Easy-Peel Adhesive Removers—Cleanly peel away tape, labels, and other adhesives without leaving any residue behind. These are our most surface-safe removers—they break the adhesive’s surface bond rather than dissolving the adhesive. They have the mildest odor of our removers and do not need to be rinsed after use.
    Citrus Oil—The most common general purpose adhesive removers. They’re safe for most hard and soft surfaces and have a mild citrus odor. However, they leave an oily residue and should be rinsed with soap and water after use.
    Acetone—Our fastest-acting adhesive removers. They work on hard surfaces and don’t require rinsing after use, but they have a strong odor and can damage paint, coatings, and finishes. Higher concentrations are more aggressive on both the adhesive and the underlying surface.
    Cannot Be Sold to Canada—Removers cannot be sold to Canada due to local chemical regulations.

    Quickly remove vinyl, decals, tape, and double-sided molding striping and trim without damaging the surface below. These solid, molded wheels use friction instead of abrasives to prevent scratches and damage. Since friction creates heat, you should not use these wheels with heat-sensitive surfaces.
    Caution: Use only accessories that have a greater rpm rating than the maximum speed of the grinder you choose.

    Soybean Oil—Degreasers with soybean oil are an economical alternative to degreasers with citrus oil. They leave a coating that helps prevent rust and are also nonflammable.
    Citrus Scent—Degreasers with a citrus scent contain citrus oil to dissolve adhesives, tars, and waxes. They are nonflammable and free of harmful vapors. Rinse parts and wipe them clean after degreasing.

    Pellets

    Avoid downtime and material waste by quickly purging colors, resins, and carbon build-up from injection molding, blow molding, and plastic extrusion machines. These machine cleaners work with any resin system, so there’s no need to stock a variety of cleaners. They’re also known as purging compounds.
    Pastes—Paste cleaners come in individual packets, so you can drop them directly into your feed or hopper without measuring. Use 1 oz. of cleaner for each inch of screw diameter.
    Pellets—For pellet cleaners, use one to two times the barrel capacity.
