SANI-TRED products are not just coatings, they are permanently flexible, ultra-adhesives which deep penetrate and bond to all basements surfaces. The adhesive bonds made with SANI-TRED products between unlike materials such as; All such bonded joints will break, during destructive testing, at other than the bonded joint itself.

Unless paint is peeling, flaking or detached, it is probably best left alone and appropriately recoated. However, where old paint has become excessively thick and obscuring detail, old paint is best removed by dissolution.
