AiA™ Heavy-Duty Paint & Coating Remover

AiA™ is a heavy-duty, water-based paint and coating remover formulated for demanding stripping projects. Its proprietary bond-breaking and encapsulation technology penetrates multiple coating layers, breaks their adhesion to the substrate, and helps keep removed material together for more controlled collection and disposal.

Designed for stubborn coatings and large removal areas, AiA™ can be applied by airless sprayer or brush. The formula does not flash off, giving it time to work before lifted paint or coating is scraped away or removed with pressure washing.

Heavy-Duty Coating Removal for Tough Jobs

Use AiA™ on most indoor or outdoor, vertical or horizontal surfaces where paint stripping or coating removal is required. It is suitable for metal, concrete, fiberglass, and many other substrates. Always perform a test patch first to confirm dwell time and product suitability, particularly on delicate surfaces such as wood, brick, or sandstone.

Designed to Remove Challenging Coating Systems

• Lead- and asbestos-based paints
• Powder coating
• Latex, acrylic, alkyd, and general-purpose paints
• High-performance industrial and aerospace coatings
• Two-part and fusion-bonded epoxies
• Two-part urethane materials

Performance That Helps Improve Project ROI

• Reduce labour-intensive removal: Loosen coatings for scraping or pressure washing instead of relying solely on abrasive methods.
• Support substrate protection: Bond-breaking technology helps release the coating from the surface without aggressive mechanical removal.
• Improve material containment: Encapsulation helps collect lifted paint and coating material for more controlled cleanup.
• Cover large areas efficiently: Apply by airless sprayer for broad surfaces or brush onto smaller, detailed areas.
• Plan product use: Approximate coverage is 80 sq. ft. per US gallon in a single-application process.
• Choose a lower-odour approach: AiA™ is water-based and fully biodegradable, with no methylene chloride, caustics, or NMP.
• Monitor application coverage: The white formula makes it easier to see where product has been applied.

How to Apply AiA™

1. Begin with a clean, dry surface and complete a test patch.
2. Apply by brush for small areas or with an airless sprayer for large areas. Do not atomize the product, and do not use rollers.
3. Apply a full, even layer until the underlying coating is no longer visible. Use a dabbing motion when brushing.
4. Protect the treated surface from rain, intense sunlight, heat, freezing, and disturbance. Do not scrub, agitate, or let the product dry out while it dwells.
5. When the coating darkens, ripples, and lifts, remove it by scraping or pressure washing.

Dwell Time and Removal Planning

Dwell time can range from about 1 hour to overnight, up to 12 hours. Certain industrial coatings may require up to 24 hours. Results vary by coating type, temperature, and substrate conditions. If AiA™ begins to dry before the coating has fully released, apply more product. Protect from extreme heat; colder temperatures may require longer dwell times.
