Agar Ultrastrip – Heavy-Duty Floor Polish Remover

Strip floors faster and cleaner with Agar Ultrastrip, a fast-acting, heavy-duty polish remover designed specifically for commercial floor care professionals. Formulated to slice through layers of neglected, hardened floor sealer and old wax with ease, this powerful commercial floor stripping chemical drastically reduces the physical labor and machine time required for full floor restorations. By effectively breaking down heavy build-up, it leaves the underlying floor exceptionally clean, residue-free, and perfectly primed for applying a brand-new coat of polish.

Comfort and machine compatibility are critical during large-scale stripping operations. Unlike many traditional strippers that choke the room with harsh, toxic fumes, Agar Ultrastrip is completely odourless, making it highly suitable for use in confined spaces or populated commercial buildings. Furthermore, its specialized low-foaming formulation ensures seamless operation with auto-scrubbers and wet vacuums without causing internal foam blockages. This highly versatile low-foaming floor stripper is perfectly safe and highly effective on most commercial surfaces, including vinyl tile, metal, and timber, when diluted appropriately.

Who Is This Polish Remover Ideal For?

Agar Ultrastrip delivers fast-acting restoration power without the harsh smells. It is highly recommended for:

  • Commercial Floor Care Contractors: Routinely stripping heavy, aged wax from expansive supermarket aisles and shopping center concourses.
  • Hospital & Healthcare Cleaners: Utilizing an odourless formula to safely strip vinyl flooring without disturbing patients with strong chemical fumes.
  • School Janitorial Teams: Restoring heavily trafficked classroom floors and gymnasium halls during term breaks.
  • Industrial Facility Managers: Removing tough, industrial-grade sealers from workshop and warehouse floors using heavy-duty auto-scrubbers.

Key Features and Performance Benefits:

  • Rapid Stripping Action: Quickly liquefies old, stubborn polishes and hardened waxes, drastically reducing scrubbing time.
  • Completely Odourless: Contains no harsh ammonia or overpowering fumes, ensuring maximum user comfort and safety in unventilated indoor spaces.
  • Low-Foam Formula: Prevents foam build-up in the recovery tanks of expensive auto-scrubbers and wet/dry vacuums, protecting the suction motors.
  • Residue-Free Finish: Rinses away cleanly without leaving a slippery, soapy film, ensuring excellent adhesion for your new floor sealer.
  • Multi-Surface Safety: When diluted correctly, it is highly effective and safe on standard vinyl tile, timber, and metal surfaces.

Technical Specifications:

  • Brand: Agar
  • Product Name: Ultrastrip Heavy Duty Polish Remover
  • Volume: 5 Litres (Commercial Concentrate)
  • Scent: Odourless
  • Foam Level: Low Foaming
  • Application: Floor polish stripping, wax removal, surface preparation
  • Safe Surfaces: Vinyl tile, metal, timber, rubber, sheet vinyl (with specific high-dilution ratios)

Directions for Use:

Dilute 1 part Agar Ultrastrip with 10 to 20 parts of cold water depending on the severity of the polish build-up. For extremely heavy, multi-layered build-up, you can use a stronger concentration (up to 1:3). Important: For rubber and sheet vinyl floors, always dilute at least 1:20 to avoid surface damage. Mop the diluted solution generously over the floor and allow 10 to 15 minutes for chemical activation. Do not let the floor dry out. Scrub the area using a black pad on a slow-speed floor machine. Mop or wet-vacuum the resulting slurry, then rinse the floor thoroughly with clean, hot water. Porous floors require a flood-rinse to remove all chemical residue from the pores before recoating.

Achieve a flawless, residue-free floor prep. Available for nationwide delivery.

What is the primary purpose of Agar Ultrastrip?

Agar Ultrastrip is a heavy-duty chemical used to physically break down and strip away old, hardened layers of floor polish, wax, and sealers so that the raw floor can be thoroughly cleaned and re-polished.

Is this product safe to use with a ride-on auto-scrubber?

Yes. Ultrastrip features a specialized low-foaming formula. This prevents massive amounts of suds from building up in the recovery tank, which protects the machine's vacuum motor from foam damage.

Does this product smell like strong ammonia?

No, one of the greatest benefits of Agar Ultrastrip is that it is completely odourless. This makes it significantly safer and much more pleasant to use in confined commercial spaces like offices, hospital wards, and retail stores.

Can I use Ultrastrip to remove polish from rubber or sheet vinyl?

Yes, but you must be extremely careful with the dilution. For sensitive surfaces like rubber and sheet vinyl, you must dilute the product at least 1:20 with water to prevent the chemical from damaging or burning the floor material.

How long should I let the chemical sit on the floor before scrubbing?

You should allow the solution to 'dwell' on the floor for 10 to 15 minutes. This gives the chemical time to react with and liquefy the hardened wax. You must ensure the floor stays wet during this entire dwell time.

What colour floor pad should I use with this stripper?

For standard stripping on robust hard floors, a black stripping pad or an emerald green pad fitted to a slow-speed rotary machine (around 175 RPM) is the industry standard for removing heavy wax.

Do I need to use hot water to dilute this product?

No, Ultrastrip is highly effective when mixed with standard cold water. However, using clean, hot water during the final rinse stage helps ensure all chemical residues are completely removed from the floor.

Will this make the floor dangerously slippery while working?

Unlike older, heavily saponified strippers, Ultrastrip is formulated to be largely non-slippery during use. However, standard wet-floor safety protocols and caution signs must always be utilized during stripping operations.

Is it safe to use on sealed timber?

Yes, provided it is diluted correctly according to the manufacturer's guidelines, it can safely strip polish from timber floors without warping the wood.

Why do I need to rinse the floor after stripping?

Rinsing is critical. If any stripper residue or liquefied wax is left on the floor and allowed to dry, your brand new coat of polish will not adhere to the floor properly, leading to peeling, flaking, and a cloudy finish.

Can this remove semi-permanent polyurethane sealers?

Ultrastrip is designed for standard commercial polishes and waxes. For extremely tough, semi-permanent water-based sealers, you may require Agar STR-36 or Agar Demolish.

Do you offer trade pricing for contract floor polishers?

Yes, Freshway Supplies provides highly competitive trade and bulk pricing for commercial floor care contractors, facility managers, and school maintenance teams. Contact us to set up your account.
