    The product line will include bulk paint stripper for vehicle depainting; spray can paint stripper for piecework, parts and bumper stripping; paint gun and equipment cleaner and the unique overspray remover.

    After reviewing the effectiveness and many advantages that Napier's Selective Adhesion Release Agents (SARA Technology) can provide to the Paint Body and Equipment Industry, Sherwin Williams has initiated an immediate launch scheduled in July 2000 for the product line.
