Heavy Duty Polymer Remover for Addition to Tanks & More
K60 Heavy Duty Polymer Remover is a powerful, water-rinseable formula designed to remove tough polymer coatings. To remove polymers of the varieties: alkyds, polyesters, acrylics, polyvinyl acetates, melamine and urea formaldehydes, vegetable oils, mineral oils and numerous types of paint coatings. This product has been designed particularly for addition to tanks which have carried polymers which require to be cleaned.
