Agar STR-36 – Super Concentrated Floor Stripper

When dealing with expansive commercial floor restorations, efficiency and economy are paramount. Agar STR-36 is a premium, super-concentrated floor stripper formulated specifically to rapidly break down stubborn old polish, immense wax build-ups, and highly resilient semi-permanent water-based sealers. Because of its ultra-concentrated nature, a single 5L drum yields massive volumes of highly active stripping solution, drastically reducing your chemical costs while ensuring maximum removal efficiency on large-scale commercial jobs.

Unlike traditional, highly caustic stripping agents, Agar STR-36 achieves formidable results using only cold water. It contains absolutely no caustic powders and is completely free of the harsh, toxic ammonia smells that typically plague stripping operations, making it an exceptionally safe and pleasant ammonia-free wax stripper to use in occupied buildings. Furthermore, its low-foaming profile is specifically tailored for machine use, helping professional contractors save on labor hours by ensuring they rarely need to re-strip an area. This commercial floor sealer remover is the ultimate reliable workhorse for reviving terrazzo, marble, and vinyl spaces.

Who Is This Concentrated Stripper Ideal For?

Agar STR-36 provides immense economic value and rapid stripping power. It is highly recommended for:

  • Large-Scale Commercial Cleaners: Benefitting from the super-concentrated formula to strip massive retail spaces, shopping malls, and corporate lobbies highly economically.
  • Hospitals & Healthcare Facilities: Safely stripping floors using an odourless, ammonia-free solution that ensures patient and staff comfort.
  • School & University Janitors: Rapidly preparing vast terrazzo and ceramic hallways for fresh coats of sealer during tight school holiday schedules.
  • Professional Floor Restoration Crews: Sourcing a low-foaming stripper that works perfectly in tandem with heavy-duty auto-scrubbers without causing foam lock.

Key Features and Performance Benefits:

  • Super-Concentrated Economy: High-potency formula requires minimal product per bucket, drastically lowering the chemical cost per square metre.
  • Cold Water Activation: Works powerfully and efficiently in standard cold water, eliminating the need to source and transport hot water on site.
  • Odourless & Ammonia-Free: Creates a safer, far more pleasant working environment free from the stinging fumes associated with caustic powders.
  • Low Foaming Action: Perfect for use with high-speed rotary machines and wet vacuums, preventing frustrating foam-outs in recovery tanks.
  • Highly Versatile: Safe and incredibly effective on commercial vinyl, terrazzo, marble, ceramic, and quarry tiles.

Technical Specifications:

  • Brand: Agar
  • Product Name: STR-36 Super Concentrated Floor Stripper
  • Volume: 5 Litres
  • Formula Profile: Ammonia-free, Caustic powder-free, Low-foaming
  • Scent: Odourless
  • Safe Surfaces: Vinyl, Terrazzo, Marble, Ceramic, Quarry tiles
  • Not Recommended For: Undiluted use on linoleum; Not for use on rubber floors.

Directions for Use:

For heavy, aged polish build-ups, dilute 1 part STR-36 with 4 parts cold water. For standard, routine stripping tasks, use a highly economical 1:8 ratio. Important: If stripping linoleum or timber floors, always dilute to at least 1:20 to prevent surface damage; do not use on rubber. Mop the solution generously over the floor and allow 5 to 10 minutes for chemical activation. Keep the surface consistently wet. Scrub the floor using a black or emerald pad fitted to a slow-speed floor machine. Vacuum or mop up the resulting slurry. Finally, rinse the floor thoroughly three times with clean water. For porous surfaces like terrazzo, add vinegar or a commercial neutralizer to the middle rinse to ensure a perfect pH balance before resealing.

Maximize your floor stripping economy and efficiency. Available for nationwide delivery.

What does 'Super Concentrated' mean for my cleaning business?

It means the chemical is formulated with less water and more highly active ingredients in the drum. You dilute it much further than standard strippers (e.g., 1:8 instead of 1:4), which means a single 5L drum covers a significantly larger floor area, saving you money.

Will this remove semi-permanent floor sealers?

Yes, Agar STR-36 is engineered to be aggressive enough to rapidly break down and remove not only standard floor polishes but also tough, water-based semi-permanent sealers.

Does this product have a strong chemical smell?

No. STR-36 is completely odourless and free of ammonia. This makes it an incredibly popular choice for stripping floors in hospitals, supermarkets, and occupied buildings where harsh fumes are unacceptable.

Do I need to use hot water to activate it?

No, one of the major benefits of STR-36 is that it provides exceptional, powerful stripping action using standard cold tap water.

Can I use this on rubber gym flooring?

No. Agar STR-36 is highly concentrated and is NOT recommended for use on rubber floors, as it may degrade or permanently damage the rubber compounds.

Is it safe to use on genuine linoleum?

You can use it on linoleum, but you MUST be extremely careful. Linoleum is highly sensitive to high pH strippers. You must dilute the STR-36 to a minimum of 1:20, and never use it undiluted on linoleum.

Can I apply this using an auto-scrubber?

Yes. The product is specifically formulated to be low-foaming. You can lay it down, let it dwell, and then use your auto-scrubber to agitate and immediately vacuum up the slurry without risking foam damage to your vacuum motor.

How long should I let it sit on the floor?

You should allow the solution to dwell for 5 to 10 minutes. It is critical that you do not let the solution dry out on the floor during this time; apply more water if it begins to dry.

Why do I need to rinse the floor three times?

Because STR-36 is a highly potent, alkaline stripper, any residue left behind will chemically prevent your new floor polish from sticking to the floor, causing it to peel. Thorough rinsing ensures the floor returns to a neutral pH.

Should I use a neutralizer?

Yes, particularly for highly porous floors like terrazzo or old concrete. Adding a splash of vinegar or a commercial neutralizer to your rinse water ensures the high pH of the stripper is completely neutralized before you apply fresh sealer.

What kind of machine pad works best with this product?

For optimal results, pair this stripper with an aggressive black stripping pad or an emerald green pad attached to a slow-speed (175 - 300 RPM) rotary floor machine.

Do you supply bulk quantities for large contract cleaning firms?

Yes, Freshway Supplies offers highly competitive trade pricing for commercial cleaning contractors and facility management teams outfitting large-scale restoration jobs. Contact us to organize a trade account.
