FAQs
Can I use this on plastic surfaces?
Mipa CHO is primarily designed for metal and similar durable surfaces. Always perform a patch test on plastic as some types may warp or melt.
How do I dispose of used paint remover?
Do not pour down the drain. Collect waste in a sealed container and dispose of it at a certified hazardous chemical waste facility.
Does this product have a shelf life?
Yes, keep the container tightly sealed in a cool place. If the product remains clear and free of contamination, it will retain effectiveness.
Is it safe for indoor use?
Only use in areas with excellent natural or mechanical ventilation, as chemical vapors can be hazardous to inhale.
What is the best way to apply it to a vertical surface?
A brush is recommended for vertical surfaces to ensure an even, thick coat that won't run off prematurely.
Troubleshooting
Paint is not lifting from the surface
Apply a thicker layer of the remover and allow more dwell time; ensure the surface is free of wax or heavy grease before application.
Surface appears cloudy after stripping
Thoroughly rinse or clean the surface with a suitable solvent or water to remove all chemical residue before recoating.
Liquid is evaporating too quickly
Work in a cooler environment away from direct sunlight, or cover the area with plastic sheeting to hold the chemicals against the paint surface.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before starting your project, ensure you are in a well-ventilated area and wearing chemical-resistant gloves, eye protection, and protective clothing. Always test the product on a small, inconspicuous area first to check for substrate compatibility. When using the immersion method, use a container made of metal or chemical-resistant plastic. After the finish is removed, the surface should be thoroughly cleaned and neutralized according to the requirements of your next coating step. Store the container in a cool, dry place with the lid tightly secured to prevent evaporation and maintain product integrity.
