Product Information
Full details
Cromar Acetone is an essential, professional-grade solvent designed for roofers and DIY enthusiasts working with ProGRP flat roofing systems. Its primary function is to clean and prepare surfaces by removing contaminants and softening resin after sanding, ensuring optimal adhesion for topcoat applications. While highly effective, users must exercise extreme caution due to its rapid evaporation rate, high flammability, and the requirement for proper personal protective equipment during handling.

FAQs
Can I use this to clean brushes?
Yes, Cromar Acetone is highly effective for cleaning tools used with GRP resins before they cure.
Does it have a shelf life?
When kept in a sealed, airtight container, it remains effective for a long period, though it should be stored strictly according to safety guidelines.
Do I need special gloves?
Yes, standard latex gloves may degrade. Always use heavy-duty nitrile or solvent-resistant gloves.
Is it safe to use indoors?
It is not recommended for indoor use due to the strong vapors and flammability. Use only in well-ventilated exterior spaces.
Will this remove cured resin?
Acetone is best at cleaning uncured resin. Once the resin is fully cured, it is highly resistant to solvents, so it should be used immediately after sanding.
Troubleshooting
Surface remains tacky after wiping
Ensure you are using a clean cloth. If the cloth becomes saturated with resin, it will stop cleaning effectively; switch to a clean section of the cloth frequently.
Solvent evaporates too quickly
Work in smaller, manageable sections of the roof rather than trying to wipe large areas at once.
