Removing old coatings is often the first—and most important—step in any refinishing or restoration project. Whether you’re working on a vintage car, a historic building, or a factory floor, the right paint remover makes all the difference in safety, speed, and results. But have you ever wondered what goes into making an effective chemical paint stripper?

At General Chemical Corp., we believe it’s more than just combining solvents in a drum. Manufacturing high-quality paint removers requires chemistry expertise, rigorous safety standards, and a commitment to environmental responsibility.

The Science of Paint Removal

Paint strippers work by breaking down the bonds that hold paint to a surface. Depending on the formulation, they may:

• Penetrate the layers of paint to soften them for easy scraping.

• React chemically to loosen tough coatings like epoxy, urethane, or powder coatings.

• Lift residue and contaminants without damaging the underlying material.

Developing these formulas requires precision. Industrial applications demand products powerful enough to handle thick, aged coatings, while DIY and commercial users often prefer lower-odor, safer alternatives.

Key Qualities of a Reputable Manufacturer

When you choose a paint stripper manufacturer, here’s what you should look for:

✅ Technical Expertise
Manufacturers should have in-house chemists and lab facilities to formulate, test, and refine each product for performance and compliance.

✅ Regulatory Compliance
High-quality producers follow strict regulations around labeling, transportation, and workplace safety. For example:
            - OSHA standards for hazardous materials
            - VOC regulations for air quality
            - GHS labeling for safe handling

✅ Innovation
With growing demand for safer, eco-friendly products, top manufacturers invest in research to reduce hazardous ingredients without sacrificing performance.

✅ Reliable Supply Chain
Consistency matters. Whether you need a single gallon or bulk quantities, dependable manufacturers ensure you get the same proven formula every time.

✅ Technical Support and Training
Professionals often need guidance on application techniques, surface compatibility, or disposal best practices. A reputable supplier offers expert support to help you get the job done right.
