February 1, 2012

Q. If someone can give an idea to treat water contaminated with paint stripper? Or I have to dispose as waste? Thanks.

If you know the composition of the paint stripper, check with your POTW to see what the discharge limits are. Some paint strippers can go down the drain, while other should not.
