Safe Artex Removal

Artex Removal Made Safe and Easy With Fuze Products Artex Remover

Artex removal is a tedious task and it can cause severe health hazards. 

If the right products are selected then the health risk can be minimised.

Though modern houses seldom make use of artex, it was a prominent feature in houses built during the

last three decades of the 20th Century. The owners of such houses are now faced with the removal of 

this coating prior to painting and decorating. 

Artex manufactured before 1984 contains small quantities of asbestos, herein lies one of the problems. 

The affected artex must be removed without forming a hazardous asbestos containg dust.

Any stripper used for such artex must not allow the release of asbestos as a dust

The artex remover should be applied generously to the artexed surface. (If the artex has been heavily

painted it may need an initial treatment with a paint stripper such as Biostrip PLUS) 

After approximately an hour, the artex should have started to form a gel like substance. 

The artex remover should be left in place until the artex has completely softened, this may take 

several hours, or longer when the ambient temperature is low.

Leave it in place until the softened artex "gel" can be removed easily with a scraper or scrubbing brush.

Heavily applied artex may need a further application.

Wash the treated area thoroughly with fresh soapy water

NOTE: Artex removal is a very physical job. We advise testing a small area first so you can see what 

it entails
