Soil stripping

Most PVC, thermoplastic or linoleum floors require, when they do not have one on delivery from the factory, the laying of a layer of wax (also called metallization operation).

This protection consisting of a wax or emulsion applied manually or in the factory is not durable. It is subject to the attacks of traffic, washing with more or less suitable detergent, passing through trolleys, moving furniture, etc.

The protection which is then maintained with a spray method periodically will have to be completely removed at some point because the degradation will no longer allow it to be maintained.

This operation of stripping the support is a stripping operation. This operation then makes it possible to re-wax (or metallize) the support in order to start again on a new protection.

The stripping operation is a heavy and delicate operation because it uses equipment and products that can degrade the supports in the context of improper use.

The equipment used is generally a low-speed monobrush and a water and dust vacuum cleaner or, in the case of large unobstructed surfaces, a scrubber drier .

Stripping is done using black, brown or green discs depending on the fragility of the soil. The darker the color of the disc, the more effective it will be, but the greater the risk of damage to the support.

Then you need a stripper. These products are divided into two main axes:

- Strippers on an alkaline chemical base with pH close to 10/11 see more

In this case , rinsing with clean water to neutralize the soil will be imperative and will often have to be repeated several times. Advantage: effective and fast action of the product but with a risk of degradation / discoloration of the support.

- "No-rinse" strippers generally solvent-based with a lower pH.

In this case, rinsing will still be recommended, but in a much more limited way. Advantage: safety and ease but may be less effective than some alkaline strippers.
