Previous Message

I asked Ron Graham from ICI these questions

The answers are not direct quotes but are taken from my notes

Question 1

I had tested the product at an industrial plant and at a body shop. The tests that were performed
properly had remarkable results but I was at these two places just to see how effective the product is, so I never asked whether or not they would purchase it. What has been the reaction from the places that you have been pitching hydrostrip 500?

More specifically, has it been

"Wow what an effective paint stripper, but we are going to stick with what we are using now, it's not THAT much of a hassle to put on gloves and a mask, certainly not enough of a problem for us to change our purchasing habits"

or has it been

"Wow, what an unbelievable product, how can we get our hands on this"

Answer 1

It's most definitely been the second response that we are getting. Have you worked with any of the other strippers, the care in the handling and in the disposal is not an insignificant issue. MC based strippers dissolve the paint so disposal is a large headache. They recently worked on a building in Red Deer that is considered an historic building so they wanted to avoid sand blasting. They had tested several strippers, including hydrostrip, and the hydrostrip not only outperformed the other strippers, it was the only one that could be pressure washed since the paint falls to the floor ( then collected and disposed of ) and the water runs down the drain. With the others, they can not even allow the water to run down the drain. There is nothing out there that works so well and is so safe and easy to work with. What company would not want to use this paint stripper once they see the benefits.

Question 2

Will you be selling just one version of the paint stripper or all the variations.

Answer 2

We will have an entire line of Hydrostrip 500

Question 3

Do you sell any strippers that will compete with the sales of Hydrostrip

Answer 3

No doubt about it, there are competing lines available but once they have used and seen Hydrostrip and don't have to take the precautions that are necessary for MC based strippers, there is no question about it, they will want to use Hydrostrip. They don't have to worry about it getting into the sewers or worry about the fumes.

I have a note also about dip tanks are being designed for its use but don't remember what comments that went with it.

There is also mention about the regulations that will be coming into effect soon and this will effect the sales of the other competing products

Question 4

Will you be selling this internationally, or will you start out in a few regions and see how it catches on and then expand your market.

Answer 4

ICI is the largest paint manufacturer and we market to 163 countries. We will not be targeting only a few regions, we will be selling this to all markets. You will also be seeing this in Glidden and Color Your World stores.

Question 5

If you are offered a sweeter deal by a different company with a product as good as SV-35, would you guys switch your ties from Napier to the other company.

Answer 5

Right now there is no better product, period. If someone were to copy SV-35 within the next few months, they would be taken to court. What goes into the product as well as the production process is patented so it would be a dangerous move to copy it. AND, even if there was a competing product, its not so easy to just change your focus like that, it doesn't look good to be pushing one product in June and another in December.

Xray-what kind of 1\2 ass DD do you do-if any
Citristrip: 810-340-0400. Call the #
do you have any other paint stripper to mention other than
what peter joesph brought to this thread-because these were
discounted a long time ago-like right after peter joesph
mentioned them-go back and read the posts "Don't forget the wise words of your friend Peter -you never dealt with the issue of competition, which Peter Joseph carefully researched:"DID YOU??
-XRAY-"Don't forget the wise words of your friend Peter"HAHAHAHA-SEE WHAT YOU GET FOR TRYING TO BE SMART-peter joesph made you look stupid.

Look at his research-read son

Rule #1 Do your own DD don't believe everything you read here-For some reason I thought your were smarter

Read the 3rd line-xray and read everything on Ameristrip read it all

Do any of the "green" paint strippers work?
We've tried two that were quite effective: Woodfinisher's Pride and Citristrip. Both are based on n-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP), which is nonflammable and produces fewer toxic vapors. (Citristrip also contains d-limonene, a citrus-scented solvent; it actually smells nice.) They're not cheap, and they take much longer to work than traditional strippers. But we recommend them since the old, methylene chloride strippers offer speed at the expense of health: They're both carcinogenic and narcotic.
Citristrip: 810-340-0400.
Woodfinisher's: 901-775-0100.
