A new type of biobased paint remover, completely free from fossil-based solvents, has been launched by the Swedish greentech company OrganoClick (organoclick.com) the brand BIOkleen.

With the product Paint Remover Eco, it becomes easier to remove old paint. At the same time, health risks associated with fossil-based solvents commonly found in these types of products are avoided, notes a press release from the company.

Alongside Paint Remover Eco, biobased Graffiti Remover Eco and Brush Cleaner Eco has also being launched.

BIOkleen is one of Sweden’s leading brands of environmentally certified maintenance products for homeowners and the professional market. The products are developed by the Swedish greentech company OrganoClick.

After several years of research and development, a series of paint removal products is now being launched where traditional fossil-based solvents from the petroleum industry have been completely eliminated. Instead, the products are based on a natural solvent made from cellulose, making them biobased and biodegradable. At the same time, the new products are at least as effective as previous alternatives. The new series for paint removal includes Paint Remover Eco (Färgbort Eco), Graffiti Remover Eco (Klotterbort Eco), and Brush Cleaner Eco (Penseltvätt Eco).

Robert Weber, CEO of BIOkleen, states: “There is a misconception that products of this kind must feel strong and have a strong smell to do the job effectively, but with Paint Remover Eco, we have managed to prove the opposite.”

Says Maria Wennman, Head of Research and Development at OrganoClick: “Another important aspect for Paint Remover Eco is that the product can be applied to vertical surfaces.”

Paint Remover Eco is available in 1, 5, and 20 liters. Brush Cleaner Eco is available in 1L, and Graffiti Remover Eco is available in a 1L spray bottle and 20L.
