    Conformal Coating Removers

    Strip conformal coatings from circuit boards for maintenance and repair. These removers work with acrylic, silicone, and polyurethane conformal coatings, plus conductive inks. Since epoxy conformal coatings are permanent, they can’t remove those.
    Pens

    Pen removers are for precise application. Use them to remove coatings from specific components on your circuit board, such as when you’re prototyping or repairing.

    Liquids—Liquid removers in a can are best for stripping coatings from an entire circuit board. Submerge your board in the liquid to let the coating soften. Then remove the coating with a non-abrasive brush and wipe your board clean.
    Gels—Gel removers are best for spot removals. Apply the gel and let the coating soften. Then remove the coating with a non-abrasive brush and wipe your board clean.

    Heavy Duty Paint Removers

    Tackle tough jobs—these removers strip up to 30 layers of paint per application. Use them to prepare surfaces for refinishing. Apply with a trowel (included) or sprayer and cover with the included absorbing paper. Peel the paper from the surface and dispose. After stripping, apply a neutralizer (included) so new paint isn't affected.

    Dry Ice Blasters

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Dry Ice Blasters.
    The cleanest, safest way to blast. These blasters turn liquid CO2 into dry ice pellets that remove paint, grease, and dirt—without releasing harmful abrasive media into the surrounding air. Since the pellets turn to gas on contact, there's no media left behind to clean up.
    Ideal for light surface prep on metals, the dry ice pellets won't scratch or etch your material. Adjust the pressure and spray width for small or large surfaces, and fine-tune your settings in real time using feedback from the display. Do a test run before using these blasters on soft plastics, since the pellets may leave behind a texture. Opt for a blasting setup with conventional media for tough removal of heavy coatings, corrosion, or scale.
    You don't need to order pellets to get started. The built-in pelletizer converts liquid CO2 into blasting media as you work. Connect a 50 lb. or 75 lb. CO2 tank with siphon tubes (sold separately). The system draws CO2 only when you pull the trigger, so quick jobs won't drain your tank. Any unused CO2 can be stored for later jobs. Set these blasters up in any well-ventilated space.

    Use this thick gel to remove rust from vertical surfaces. Removers are acid free and are safe for contact with skin and sensitive surfaces, such as copper, brass, aluminum, and plastic. They’re low odor and contain no VOCs, so they can be used in enclosed and occupied areas. Brush them onto rusty surfaces; after an hour or two, rinse the rust and removers away with water.

    Rust Removers for Pipes and Tanks

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Rust Removers. Rust Removers for Pipes and Tanks.
    Remove and prevent rust inside of pipes and equipment such as boilers and heat exchangers. These rust removers also have corrosion inhibitors to protect copper components in pipe systems. Unlike other harsh rust removers, they use citric acid to dissolve rust, which is nonhazardous and noncorrosive. Use when the system is shut down to remove heavy rust deposits or while it is operating for continuous rust prevention.

    These acid-free rust removers are safe for contact with people and surfaces. Dip, brush, or spray metal to remove and prevent rust. To use as a remover, rinse after applying; to use as an inhibitor, apply again and allow remover to dry on the item—removers prevent rust for up to four weeks.
    One gallon removes 1/2 pound of pure rust, enough to treat 300 pounds of moderately corroded steel.
