Benefits of Infrared Paint Removing Technology
Top 5 Reasons for the Infrared:
- Safer operating temperature than heat gun.
​
Tool heats to 400-500, only heating the painted surface to approximately 300 degrees. This is in contrast to the average operating temperature of 1100 degrees for a heat gun.
​
Subsequently much lower risk of fire.
​
Also, does not reach the temperature in which harmful lead fumes can be released.
​
- Creates easy to dispose of debris.
​
Unlike the fine particles created by sanding, the Superlight will create much larger paint curls for easy collection.
Bind painted surface first to reconstitute old, dry paint with a little Viking Purified Raw Linseed Oil and even more potential dust or small particles are decreased.
​
- Dries out moisture in wood surfaces.
​
Avoid introducing moisture into wood, especially window sashes that can become misshapen with such a technique. Instead, infrared will dry out any existing moisture, prepping the ideal surface for painting.
​
- Little to no sanding required.
​
Avoid sanding, especially when lead paint may be present. Once heated and paint is stripped away with a sharp pull-scraper, the wood surface is relatively smooth. If necessary, hand-sand before painting. Possible to paint immediately!
​
- Chemical-free and solvent-free technique.
​
Chemical or solvent based strippers can become absorbed into the porous wood surface, leaving a residue that can leech out over time. Avoid introducing such products in order to maintain integrity and longevity of wood material, ensure compatibility and adhesion of paints/coatings, as well as for personal health and environmental reasons.
​
​
The Silent Paint Remover system is a safer and more environmentally-friendly tool for removing and disposing of paint, especially suspected lead paint.
​
Infrared technology works by heating the substrate beneath the paint, effectively breaking the bond between most coatings and a wood surface. This allows for relatively easy paint removal or stripping with a sharp scraper.

Quick Tips:
​
Recommended to use a sharp pull-scraper with long handle for ideal leverage.
​
Keep blades sharp.
​
Consider working daily with several sharp blades that you can change on the same handle, allowing you to swap out for sharp blades when needed throughout your work day.
​
Set unit on its side occasionally to allow unit to cool off and avoid triggering the auto overheat protection.
​
Recommended to test if a coating responds to heat before purchasing The Silent Paint Remover.
