Professional Quality Artex Remover
An Artex Removal Product that converts artex to a removable gel. Traps any asbestos that might be in the artex and stops it getting into the environment. Durostrip Artex Remover will not “wet” the underlying plaster, which minimises the risk of damaging the plaster when removing the softened artex.
- Safely converts Artex into a gel that can be scraped off (can be used on artex that contains asbestos)
- Low evaporation rate so does not “dry out” quickly
- Thixotropic (thickened) solution clings to vertical surfaces – suitable for walls and ceilings
- Non toxic, non flammable, non corrosive
- Biodegradable
Instructions for Removing Artex
Apply generously over the Artexed areas with a brush.
Leave until Artex has completely softened (This can take several hours depending upon ambient temperature and thickness of Artex)
Remove softened Artex with a scraper.
Repeat process as necessary.
NOTE: If the Artex is heavily painted, it is advisable to remove the paint first with Biostrip PLUS prior to using Artex Remover.
Allow to dry thoroughly before refinishing.
500ml will cover up to 2-3 sq metres.
Durostrip Artex Remover is suitable for use on walls and ceilings
TIP: Let Durostrip do the work, cover the treated surfaces with cheap polythene dust sheets, to prevent drying out, and leave over night.
NOTE: Although this product is effective at softening artex, by its very nature artex removal is a fairly physical job. This should be taken into consideration before starting any project of this type.

After visiting the usual DIY stores for artex remover & nothing at all suitable for our heavy icing effect ceilings I came across this product through the internet. I can honestly say it does the job, easy to apply & effortless to remove.
