About This Product
Paint, Urethane, and Coating Removal
BLUE BEAR® Safenol™ Paint & Urethane Stripper is an eco-friendly gel stripper designed to remove paint, varnish, enamel, urethane, and other coatings from concrete, metal, and wood. Its powerful formula softens multiple coating layers in as little as 20 minutes while eliminating the need for methylene chloride and other harsh chemicals.
Gel Formula for Horizontal and Vertical Surfaces
The thick gel clings to vertical surfaces for improved dwell time while remaining easy to apply with a paint brush. Apply a layer thicker than the existing coating, allow the stripper to soften all paint layers, then remove the coating with a scraper or wet vacuum. Additional applications may be required for heavily coated surfaces.
Safer Indoor and Outdoor Projects
Safenol is non-flammable, non-caustic, biodegradable, and low odor, making it suitable for indoor or outdoor paint removal projects when proper ventilation is maintained. Coverage varies depending on coating thickness, age, number of layers, and application method.
Recommended Surface Preparation and Cleanup
Protect surrounding surfaces with plastic drop cloths before application and always test the stripper in an inconspicuous area, especially on concrete, which may darken during use. After paint removal is complete, clean remaining residue with BLUE BEAR® Emerge™ Cleaner & Degreaser.
