Prepsol Wax and Grease Remover - Solvents and Thinners - Sierra - Image 1
Description

Prepsol Wax and Grease Remover is Sierra's surface prep solvent for clearing silicone and grime before painting, in 20 L drums and 205 L drums.

What it does

Prepsol is Sierra's version of wax and grease remover, made for the paint and panel industry. Sierra says it strips silicone and other contamination from panels ahead of painting. The SDS shows a light aliphatic naphtha with hexane that evaporates very fast, so you can wipe, dry and move on to primer or paint without waiting long. A clean, contaminant free panel is what stops paint defects and adhesion problems.

Where to use it

Panel beaters, automotive refinishers, truck and trailer painters, fabricators and industrial coaters. Bare metal, sanded filler and cured paint before the next coat. Part of our solvents and thinners range.

How to use

  1. Work on a cool, dry panel.
  2. Wet one clean lint free cloth with Prepsol and wipe a small area.
  3. Wipe it dry straight away with a second clean cloth, before the solvent flashes off.
  4. Change cloths often, and let the panel dry fully before painting.

Safe on / avoid

Suits bare steel, aluminium, body filler and cured paint. Test plastics, rubber trim and fresh paint first, since hexane can affect them. Its flash point is minus 30°C, so keep it away from heaters, booth burners and sparks. Read the Safety Data Sheet before use.

Questions
▸What is Prepsol used for?

Sierra makes it for the paint and panel trade, to clear silicones and contaminants before painting.

▸How does Prepsol compare with wax and grease remover?

Sierra calls it its version of wax and grease remover. Recochem Wax and Grease Remover does the same job.

▸Why use two cloths with Prepsol?

The second, dry cloth lifts the dissolved wax and grease before the solvent evaporates and leaves it behind.

▸Can I use Prepsol on plastic bumpers?

Test a hidden area first. The hexane in it can affect some plastics.
