SOCOSTRIP A0103N 190L PLAST DRUM Paint Stripper

SOCOSTRIP A0103N 190L PLAST DRUM is a hydrogen peroxide activated, gel-type paint remover supplied for professional aerospace paint-stripping requirements.

The 190-litre drum is intended for operations that require a larger product volume than standard cans or pails. According to SOCOMORE, the formulation’s adjusted viscosity allows it to remain on vertical and overhanging surfaces and supports either manual application or airless spraying.

SOCOSTRIP A0103N should only be selected and applied according to the latest Technical Data Sheet, Safety Data Sheet and the approved procedure for the aircraft, component, coating system and substrate involved.

Why Gel Consistency Matters in Paint Removal

A liquid paint remover may drain away quickly when used on vertical, curved or overhead areas. SOCOSTRIP A0103N is formulated as a gel so that the product can remain in contact with the treated coating.

This characteristic makes it relevant to paint-removal work involving:

• Vertical aircraft surfaces.
• Curved panels and structures.
• Overhanging areas.
• Large external sections.
• Locations where controlled product coverage is required.
• Professional stripping operations using approved manual or airless equipment.

Coverage, contact time and removal results can vary according to the coating system, number of layers, temperature, substrate and application conditions. These values should not be estimated from the general product description.

SOCOSTRIP A0103N is available within RIO Middle East’s range of gel-form paint removal products.

Application Methods Referenced by SOCOMORE

Manufacturer information references two application approaches:

Manual Application

The product’s gel consistency supports controlled manual placement on the specified area. The tools, film thickness, contact time and removal procedure must follow the current TDS.

Airless Spraying

SOCOSTRIP A0103N may also be applied using suitable airless spraying equipment. Equipment selection, pressure settings, nozzle requirements and protective measures must be taken from approved technical and safety documentation.

The product should not be diluted, mixed or applied using unverified instructions.

Formulation Information

SOCOMORE describes SOCOSTRIP A0103N as a new-generation paint stripper activated by hydrogen peroxide.

Manufacturer information also states that the formulation is free from:

• Phenols.
• Chlorine.
• Hexavalent chromium, or Cr(VI).

These formulation details must not be interpreted as meaning the product is non-hazardous. Professional users must consult the current SDS for hazard classification, required personal protective equipment, ventilation, storage, spill response and disposal instructions.

Paint and Substrate Verification

The manufacturer describes SOCOSTRIP A0103N as being intended for the removal of aircraft paint systems. However, stripping performance and material compatibility may differ according to:

• Paint chemistry.
• Primer type.
• Number and thickness of coating layers.
• Age and condition of the coating.
• Underlying metal or composite substrate.
• Temperature and surrounding working conditions.
• Required maintenance specification.

Before treating a complete surface, verify that the product is approved for the coating and substrate involved. Any testing must follow the relevant technical procedure.

Customers can explore additional aircraft surface preparation products for other stages of an approved maintenance or refinishing process.

Product Information

The product code should be checked against the physical drum label and manufacturer documentation before the order is confirmed.

When a 190-Litre Drum May Be Appropriate

The 190L format may be considered for planned, large-volume paint-removal operations where product demand has been calculated in advance.

Before ordering, the procurement or maintenance team should confirm:

• Estimated treatment area.
• Required product quantity.
• Storage capacity.
• Application equipment.
• Product shelf life.
• Batch and traceability requirements.
• Waste collection and disposal arrangements.
• Delivery access and handling requirements.
• Applicable aircraft or OEM specification.

The appropriate quantity should be based on the approved process rather than the package size alone.

Other SOCOSTRIP A0103N Sizes

For maintenance requirements that do not require a full drum, RIO Middle East also lists:

• SOCOSTRIP A0103N 4L P
• SOCOSTRIP A0103N 20L PLAST PAIL

For higher-volume requirements, review:

• SOCOSTRIP A0103N 900L Plastic Tote

The selected format should reflect the planned treatment area, expected consumption, storage conditions and permitted shelf life.

Approvals and Specification Control

The current product information references organizations including Airbus, Boeing, Bombardier, ATR, Dassault Aviation, Embraer, Air Canada, Delta Air Lines, CAAC, Pilatus, RUAG, SAE and Safran.

These names should not be treated as universal approval for every aircraft or paint-removal procedure. Before use, confirm:

• The full approval or specification number.
• The applicable revision.
• The exact SOCOSTRIP A0103N variant.
• The approved package or product code.
• The aircraft, component or coating system covered.
• Any limitations contained in the specification.

Technical Documentation

The latest TDS and SDS should be obtained before ordering or using SOCOSTRIP A0103N.

These documents provide the authoritative requirements for:

• Product preparation.
• Application equipment.
• Contact time.
• Temperature range.
• Coating and substrate compatibility.
• Personal protective equipment.
• Ventilation.
• Storage and shelf life.
• Removal of paint residue.
• Waste handling and disposal.
