The EU ban on traditional methylene chloride paint
strippers comes into force in December 2010, effectively removing
almost 90% of the established volume for chemical paint removers
from the UK DIY market.
In response, Palace Chemicals has rebranded two of its products
previously offered to the professional market
under the Langlow Peel Away name, in order to offer tried
and tested alternatives at a time when there will be a genuine
demand to fill a huge gap left in the market.
LANGLOW STRIP AWAY and LANGLOW STRIP AWAY
LV both offer the same high performance paint stripping
properties as their professional use only predecessors, but under
the STRIP AWAY brand are presented in more eye-catching packaging
designed to appeal to the broader DIY use market.

In addition, Palace has also continued to develop its extensive
tiling products range with the introduction of the
SHOWER-TIGHT waterproof tanking system, a
protective membrane that is installed prior to fixing tiles in
showers and wet-room areas. SHOWER-TIGHT protects water sensitive
substrates from moisture ingress and the potential long-term
damaging effects this can have on the tiled structure and its
surrounding facilities.

These two distinct product categories further enhance Palace
Chemicals' reputation for offering the DIY market one of the most
wide-ranging portfolios of DIY, building & construction
products available from a single UK based manufacturing
source.
The Palace Chemicals stand at Totally DIY - F40 - will
also feature a fully interactive flight simulator offering visitors
the chance to set a score which can win them a holiday for two to
the value of £1500.
Clearly the Palace team are ready for 'take off' in their quest to
ensure that all visitors to their stand will walk away with
something to remember them by!
