Actichem Instastrip – Total Floor Stripper & Coating Remover 5L

Actichem InstaStrip – Floor Stripper for Acrylic Coatings
Actichem InstaStrip is a powerful, purpose-formulated floor stripping chemical designed to remove acrylic coatings, sealers and polymer finishes from resilient and hard floor surfaces.

 It is ideal for commercial, industrial, and institutional maintenance programs where built-up floor finishes must be efficiently stripped prior to re-coating. With advanced surfactant and solvent chemistry, InstaStrip penetrates multiple layers of acrylic finish for rapid removal, reducing labour and machine time in floor maintenance cycles.

• Suitable for use with autoscrubbers, rotary floor machines, oscillating scrubbers and manual stripping methods.
• Low-foam formula designed to reduce rinsing time and increase productivity.
• Supplied in a convenient 5 L ready-to-dilute container.

Benefits

• Reduces labour and downtime by breaking down old acrylic floor finishes more quickly.
• Ideal for commercial cleaning contractors and facility maintenance teams.
