Title: removing rubber chlorinated paint from tarmac
Post by: joe.b on July 22, 2011, 01:45:18 pm

Anyone got any ideas for this, tried a sort of sandblasting machine and it chews away at the tarmac before getting rid.

Any ideas welcome

They usually use a gas torch to remove these - its not the only way but thats what the lining units use.

May i ask, in my ignorance, what is the difference between rubber chlorinated paint, and normal paint that can be removed chemically?
