Recochem Wax and Grease Remover - Solvents and Thinners - Recochem - Image 1
Description

Recochem Wax and Grease Remover is a low aromatic prep solvent that lifts wax, grease and silicone before painting, in 20 L (minimum 4) and 200 L drums.

What it does

This is a wide boiling range, low aromatic aliphatic solvent. Recochem rates it highly for dissolving greases, oils and silicones and says it leaves no residue as it dries, which is what a panel needs before primer or paint. Its lower aromatic content makes it more pleasant to work with than high aromatic cleaners, and Recochem adds that it reduces the potential for skin irritation. Water will not dilute it.

Where to use it

Automotive refinish shops, truck and trailer painters, fabricators and industrial coaters. Use it as the final clean on bare metal, sanded panels and cured paint before recoating. Part of our solvents and thinners range.

How to use

  1. Make sure the panel is cool and dry.
  2. Wet a clean, lint free cloth and wipe a small section at a time.
  3. Straight away, wipe dry with a second clean cloth before the solvent flashes off, so dissolved contamination comes away with it.
  4. Change cloths often, and let the panel flash off completely before painting.

Safe on / avoid

Suits bare steel, aluminium, fillers and cured paint. Test fresh paint, plastics and rubber trim first. Keep it away from flames, sparks and hot work, since its flash point is far below room temperature. Read the Safety Data Sheet before use.

Questions
▸Why use wax and grease remover before painting?

Wax, grease and silicone cause fish eyes and poor adhesion. A wipe with this solvent removes them and leaves no residue.

▸Is it the same as Prepsol?

They do the same job. Prepsol Wax and Grease Remover is Sierra's prep solvent; this one is Recochem's.

▸Can I use it on plastic bumpers?

Test a hidden area first. It contains hexane, which can affect some plastics.

▸Does it mix with water based cleaners?

No. It is not miscible with water, so use it on its own and let it flash off fully.
