Title: Factory Floor Cleaning
Post by: Billy Russell on October 12, 2010, 03:28:00 pm

Hi all!

I have a painted floor to clean in a factory that use Natural Rubbers, polyurethanes, epoxides and thermoplastics!

I wonder if anybody had any ideas for which chems i could use?

Cheers

Billy

You'll do well to remove thermoplastics from a painted floor without removing the paint first to be honest
In fact, I don't think you will get rid of any of the products on your list without disturbing the paint... maybe the rubbers will rub off with a black pad.

The best you will probably do is to scrape off the excess and scrub the floor with a black pad with planty of water/detergent and hope that some of it abraids off.

Sorry.

Andy

Cheers Andy!

I don't think i explained myself properly( I'm good at that  :))

They don't care about the paint underneath!

I think i've found a product! i've been round to do a test patch!

British Nova product! Nova 2001 extra powerful stripper!

Worked like magic!

cheers for the reply

If they are not bothered then I would go with high pressure steam.
That should shift most stuff.
No worries about chemicals and associated paperwork then too!
