CLEANING CHEMICALSActichem Instastrip is a professional heavy-duty total floor stripper developed to remove accumulated polish, wax, sealers and UHS burnished finishes from resilient and hard flooring. Its powerful formulation quickly softens and emulsifies worn, aged and discoloured floor coatings, helping professional cleaning teams simplify difficult stripping operations and prepare floors for restoration or recoating.
Designed for use with powered scrubbing machinery, Instastrip provides an economical solution for routine floor-coating removal as well as heavier restoration work. Its low-foaming formulation helps minimise foam-related issues during mechanical cleaning, while its fast-acting chemistry reduces the amount of intensive scrubbing required. Actichem also describes the formulation as low odour, without harsh ammonia fumes or high-VOC solvents.

For light coating build-up, Actichem recommends diluting Instastrip at approximately 1:10, while heavy build-up and UHS burnished coatings can be treated at approximately 1:4. The diluted solution is applied liberally with a cotton mop, working in manageable areas. After a minimum 5-minute dwell time, the coating is mechanically agitated using a low-speed rotary scrubber or auto-scrubber fitted with a suitable stripping pad.
The resulting slurry should be picked up and the floor thoroughly rinsed with clean water to remove remaining stripper and coating residues. Once completely dry, the floor can proceed to the next stage of restoration, sealing or finishing.
For professional cleaners and floor-care contractors dealing with worn finishes, heavy polish build-up, wax residues and UHS coatings, Actichem Instastrip provides a powerful and economical stripping solution.
Its combination of fast action, low foam, low odour, versatile resilient-floor compatibility and labour-saving performance makes Instastrip a practical choice for commercial floor restoration and routine coating-removal programs.
Important: Do not use Instastrip on sealed timber floors. Always follow the current manufacturer’s instructions, SDS and appropriate PPE requirements before use.
Actichem Instastrip is designed for vinyl, sealed concrete, and resilient flooring commonly found in commercial and industrial facilities across Australia.
