Stripping products : Choosing the right solution for your surface

Looking for a professional DCM-free paint remover to effectively strip away paint, varnish, glue or rust ? Whether you’re a homeowner tackling a renovation project or a construction professional, SCALP offers a complete range of universal and façade paint strippers designed to restore all types of surfaces — including wood, metal, concrete, stone, and tiles.
Our paint removers are available in gel, liquid, or aerosol form, making them suitable for every kind of restoration or refurbishment project.

What is a professional paint stripper ?

A paint stripper is a chemical solution formulated to remove old coatings, including hazardous materials, such as paint, varnish, stains, rust or glue. It works deep into the material to strip surfaces back to their original state, ready for refinishing or restoration.
SCALP paint strippers are suitable for a wide range of applications, including façades, staircases, joinery, furniture, and metalwork.

Which product should you use for stripping ?

Before repainting any surface, it’s essential to remove previous layers to ensure strong adhesion and a flawless finish.

SCALP offers gel and liquid formulations to suit all types of surfaces:

  • Gel paint strippers: ideal for vertical surfaces such as walls and doors thanks to their non-drip texture.
  • Liquid paint strippers: best for horizontal surfaces like tables and floors.

Which paint stripper should you use for wood ?

Want to restore a piece of furniture, strip shutters, or refurbish a handrail?
Our wood paint strippers are specially formulated to remove paint, stains, varnish, wax or oil without damaging the wood grain. They ensure easy application and a clean, precise result, even on delicate timber.

Good to know: our wood paint strippers require no rinsing, allowing you to repaint or revarnish directly once the surface is dry.

Which product should you use for metal?

Over time, gates, railings and garden furniture can accumulate layers of paint, varnish, or even rust.
Our metal paint strippers effectively remove these coatings, leaving the surface clean and ready to be repainted or left as bare metal, depending on your preference.

Which product should you use for an external wall or render ?

Façade stripping requires a product that is both powerful and gentle on the substrate. Depending on the type of coating (roughcast, render, paint, RPE, RSE, etc.), it’s essential to choose the right façade paint remover for optimal results.

How to use a Paint Stripper :

  • For effective stripping, follow these simple steps:
  • Prepare the surface (dust and clean if necessary).
  • Apply the product in the recommended quantity.

  • Remove residues with a scraper or spatula.
  • Rinse thoroughly if necessary, depending on the product used, to prevent residues.
