RSP01M is a highly concentrated, water-dilutable paint stripper developed for use in industrial spray stripping machines.
Based on benzyl alcohol technology, it provides effective coating removal from aluminium alloy wheels and components. The concentrate is mixed at a ratio of one part RSP01M to two parts water and operates between 60°C and 70°C.
Regular concentration testing, pH monitoring, filtration and chemical top-ups help maintain consistent stripping performance.
For aluminium components only. Not suitable for magnesium or steel. For industrial and professional use only. Always consult the Safety Data Sheet before use.
RSP01M is a highly concentrated, water-dilutable paint stripping solution developed for use in industrial spray stripping machines.
Based on benzyl alcohol technology, the formulation has been developed to provide effective coating removal from aluminium components while avoiding many of the performance and maintenance issues traditionally associated with water-based stripping products.
RSP01M is supplied as a concentrate and offers a practical solution for alloy wheel refurbishment businesses using heated spray stripping equipment.
RSP01M must be diluted before use at a ratio of:
One part RSP01M to two parts water
For a 600 litre machine:
The solution should be operated between 60°C and 70°C.
Stripping times will vary depending on the coating type, coating thickness, wheel condition and required level of stripping. Machine cycle times should be adjusted to suit the components being processed.
During normal operation, the solution will gradually lose activity due to:
Regular testing and maintenance are essential to maintain stripping performance.
At the end of every cycle:
The required testing equipment is supplied with the first chemical order.
| Solution Strength | Activity Level | RSP01M Required |
|---|---|---|
| 100% | 20% | 0 litres |
| 90% | 18% | 15 litres |
| 80% | 16% | 30 litres |
| 70% | 14% | 45 litres |
| 60% | 12% | 60 litres |
| 50% | 10% | 75 litres |
Adding fresh RSP01M will increase the activity level. Adding water will reduce the concentration, so both must be monitored carefully.
The solution should be maintained between pH 1.5 and pH 3.
Both the activity and pH should be checked and recorded after every cycle. Testing should be completed while the solution is still warm, as temperature can affect the pH reading.
Adding fresh RSP01M will normally reduce the pH. If the concentration is correct but the pH remains above the required range, a separate Acid Additive may be required.
Acid Additive should only be introduced in 500 ml increments following advice from Ribble Technology. Please contact us before making an adjustment.
For the best stripping performance:
Do not delay top-ups until the end of the week. Irregular maintenance can reduce chemical activity and lead to longer stripping cycles.
For peak performance, we recommend replacing the complete solution approximately every six months. Over time, dissolved paint and contamination can affect testing results and reduce stripping efficiency.
The activity and pH should be checked and recorded after every cycle.
A chemical sample should also be sent to Ribble Technology every month for professional analysis. This allows us to monitor the condition of the solution and provide advice on chemical additions, pH correction and maintenance.
RSP01M is intended solely for use with aluminium wheels and components.
The product must not be used with:
Wheels should be thoroughly cleaned before stripping. Brake dust, dirt and other contamination can enter the solution and reduce its performance.
For industrial and professional use only.
RSP01M is a corrosive chemical. It is harmful if swallowed, inhaled or brought into contact with the skin. It causes severe skin burns and eye damage and may cause an allergic skin reaction.
Suitable chemical-resistant gloves, protective clothing, safety goggles and face protection must be worn. Respiratory protection may also be required where spray or mist could be produced.
Use only in a well-ventilated area and avoid breathing spray, mist or vapours. A suitable workplace risk assessment must be completed before use.
Store in the original container in a cool, well-ventilated area. Keep the container securely closed and protect it from direct sunlight, heat and sources of ignition.
Always read the Safety Data Sheet and Technical Data Sheet before handling or using this product. The end user is responsible for selecting the correct control measures and personal protective equipment.
