been laboratory tested on painted steel panels and found to remove cleanly at bake temperatures
of up to 225°F (107°C) for 30 minutes. The actual temperature and time performance may be higher or
lower for a given application. Clean removal can vary dependent on surface type, processing conditions
such as multiple bakes, type of paint involved as well as the temperature of the surface at removal. We
recommend testing the product under your conditions to determine if it meets your needs.
