Biodegradable paint stripper debuts in HDPE bottles

In response to forthcoming EU legislation prohibiting the use of methylene chloride, traditionally a key ingredient in paint strippers, Bartoline has launched its TX10 Paint and Varnish Stripper, a bio­degradable, water-based solution that is not flammable and has minimal evaporation. The company has been working on the new formulation for the past year.

The household product is packaged in RPC UKSC’s blow molded Image and Streamline bottles. The Image and Streamline containers, blow molded in HDPE, offer a stylish contoured shape that incorporates an ergonomic handle and a large decoration area for Bartoline’s distinctive livery. Crucially, extensive trials also confirmed that the container provided a robust, long-lasting home for the TX10 without any reaction with the formulation.

TX10 Paint and Varnish Stripper is available in 500 ml in the Streamline bottle, plus 1 liter, 2.5 liter and 5 liter sizes in the Image container, all closed with a CRC-accredited cap.
