Restoration (Latin “restauratio”) is a process of antiques or architecture retrieval of their primary view. There exist a great number of restoration types, depending on their specifics. It may be restoration of buildings, facades, certain elements of a building as well as the interiors restoration.  Today Saint Petersburg companies engaged in restoration works execute complete restoration of the historical appearance of a building, its interiors as well as the exteriors.
During the interiors reconstruction (modelled decor elements, vertical and overhead plane surfaces) a number of requirements, set up by KGIOP to restoration compositions are to be met.
The agents must contain neither acids nor alkalis nor highly volatile solvents. Therefore BAST Ltd. Company chose Old Paint Remover No.161 for old paint layer removal.

Pic.3 – Old Paint Remover No.161 is applied onto a painted vertical surface with a brush.

Rubbing Old Paint Remover No.161 into the surface reduces the agent’s efficiency, diminishes the number of the paint layers being removed per one time and, as a result, increases product consumption. Old Paint Remover No.161 is based on high-boiling solvents and does not contain methylene chloride. It is recommended for removal of multilayer coatings, including systems with interlayer adhesion disrupted.
