WHAT’S HOT
Tackle weatherboard
prep with confidence
Gaps between
weatherboard joints
and overlaps occur
over time as a result
of movement and
the shrinkage and/or
swelling associated
with natural timber.
Most gap fillers aren’t
designed for use
on weatherboard as
they don’t offer the
flexibility required to
resist weatherboard
movement. New
Polyfilla Professional
W50 Weatherboard
Gap Sealant has
been formulated with
an advanced acrylic
based polymer system to help withstand
the movement associated with timber
and synthetic weatherboards. With up
to +/- 25% joint movement capability
and superior adhesion to lock out
water, you can be confident in a high
quality, long lasting finish.
The new W50 Weatherboard Gap
Sealant is the latest addition to the
Polyfilla Professional Original Gaps,
S20 and M40 family. The extended
Polyfilla Professional range of gap
fillers has your gaps well and truly
covered.

A New Dust Free Solution for
Lead-Based Paint Removal
The Nu EcoSafe Strip non-caustic and non-hazardous strippers can strip lead-based
paint without contaminating your worksite. The Nu EcoSafe EcoZorb captures the
liquid paint waste, meaning you can dispose of the waste safely without your paint
drying and creating further hazards.
High lead content in paint has long been considered a health hazard. However,
traditional paint strippers are also harmful to the environment and to the health
and safety of workers. The Nu EcoSafe Strip range protects the environment and
workers, making it the perfect option for your job site.
The NuEco Safe Strip range is in keeping with new Government regulations, which
are forcing everyone to find an alternative to the traditional toxic chemical that have
been used for stripping paint in the past.
Nutech Paint’s line offers that alternative. The Worksafe & the Surface Coating
Industry codes of practice, both dictate that chemical stripping is the preferred
removal method.
Not only is the product an effective paint-stripper, it is also effective at preventing
the burns to the skin and face that were a result of the harmful vapours released
by traditional strippers. The absence of these harmful vapours makes the product
perfect for working in tight, un-ventilated places.
There are 3 types of strippers in Nutech Paint’s line: Architectural Stripper, Industrial
Coatings Stripper (Sacrificial remover), and High Performance Stripper.
When combined with Nutech Paint’s Nu EcoSafe EcoZorb, these products offer the
perfect non-toxic solution for the removal of lead based-paints.
