APG DEVELOPS PAINT REMOVER CONSIDERED NONTOXIC TO WILDLIFE

AN IMPROVED ALKALINE PAINT REMOVER HAS BEEN DEVELOPED FOR USE IN SEPARATING PAINT FROM ALUMINUM. IT IS NONTOXIC TO ANIMALS BECAUSE IT CONTAINS CERTAIN INORGANIC STANNATES INSTEAD OF THE COMMONLY USED CHROMATES FOR PROTECTING THE ALUMINUM FROM CORROSION. THE STANNATES PERMIT PAINT STRIPPERS TO BE FORMULATED FOR USE AT HIGHER PH RANGES AND HIGHER EFFICIENCIES AND ARE MORE EFFECTIVE THAN CHROMATES IN PREVENTING CORROSION.
