Paint strippers
Bio-based solvents for eco paint strippers:
ASTROBIO™ DP, NS, XT, sample on request.
ASTROBIO™ bio-based solvents replace DPM (DP), butyl acetate (BA), NMP and NEP (NS), toluene and xylene (XT) in paint strippers. Each grade suits a different coating chemistry, from acrylics and vinyls to alkyds, epoxies, polyesters and nitrocellulose; G1 and G3 are designed to formulate eco paint strippers and mastic removers.

ASTROBIO™ G3 is used to formulate mastic and adhesive removers.
Technical data sheetFrom your current solvent to ASTROBIO™ in four steps.
01
Ask for a sample
Tell us your solvent, your application and your process: we suggest the grade to test.
02
Read the data sheet
Register to the Reserved Area and download the technical data sheet of the suggested grade.
03
Test it against your current solvent
Run your usual lab method side by side with your current recipe. When your application needs it, we adapt the blend.
04
Pilot, then supply
Confirm the result on your line, then switch to the grade that passed your tests.
ASTROBIO™ NS replaces NMP and NEP and removes paints and coatings based on epoxy and vinylic polymers.
DP for acrylic and vinylic coatings, BA for alkyds, NS for epoxies and vinyls, XT for acrylic, polyester, vinylic and nitrocellulose coatings. Tell us your coating and we confirm the grade.
ASTROBIO™ G1 is used to formulate eco paint strippers and G3 to formulate mastic and adhesive removers.
Some formulations take the suggested grade directly, others need an adjustment. Test the grade side by side with your current recipe: when your application needs it, we adapt the blend.
Fill in the form on this page with the solvent you use today and your application: our chemists reply by email with the suggested grade and send you a sample. Technical data sheets are in the Reserved Area, after registration.
