What Is Agar Demolish?
Agar Demolish is a super-concentrated floor stripper specially formulated to rip through the toughest, oldest, most built-up and stubborn floor polish films. It dissolves easily in water and washes away to reveal a fresh floor ready for coating with Agar’s floor sealers.
Key Benefits of Agar Demolish
- Strong enough to lift coatings that other strippers leave behind
- Can be used safely on vinyl, polished concrete, granite, marble and terrazzo
- As an ultra-concentrate, it stretches much further than ordinary strippers
- Very economical to use
- Breaks down even the toughest, most persistent floor polish
- Slight ammonia odour, milder than many caustic strippers
- Thoroughly removes sealers in one application
How Does Agar Demolish Work?
Agar Demolish is a low foaming stripper that gives a fast, complete attack on sealer and wax films, leaving the floor stripped and ready for re-coating. The speed and depth of its reaction reduce the need for machining, saving time on the job. Because it is so concentrated, it must be diluted correctly for the job at hand: using too strong a mix on a thin, strippable sealer film can leave the floor very “hungry,” meaning it will need 2-3 extra coats of sealer afterward to re-establish a glossy base.
Dilution Rates for Agar Demolish
Agar Demolish is diluted according to how heavy the old coating is. On sensitive floors such as sheet vinyl, rubber or timber, dilute to half strength (double the water shown below).
| Coating Condition | Dilution Ratio | Concentrate per Litre of Water |
| Light coating | 1:40 | 25 mL/L |
| Normal/medium coating | 1:30 | 33 mL/L |
| Heavy coating | 1:20 | 50 mL/L |
| Very heavy coating | 1:10 | 100 mL/L |
How to Apply Agar Demolish
Mop the diluted Agar Demolish solution over the floor and allow 5-10 minutes dwell time for it to break down the old polish film, keeping the floor wet throughout. Scrub with a black stripping pad on a slow-speed machine, then mop up or wet-vacuum the resulting slurry. Rinse the floor three times with clean water; adding vinegar or Agar Neutraliser at 1:200 to the middle rinse helps neutralise any residual alkalinity before re-coating.
| Step | Detail |
| Apply | Mop on the diluted solution, keeping the floor wet |
| Dwell | 5-10 minutes to break down the old film |
| Scrub | Black stripping pad on a slow-speed machine |
| Remove | Pick up the Demolish slurry by mopping or wet-vacuuming |
| Rinse | Rinse three times with clean water; vinegar or Agar Neutraliser at 1:200 in the middle rinse is recommended |
What Surfaces Can Agar Demolish Be Used On?
Agar Demolish is safe for use on terrazzo, marble, granite, polished concrete and sealed vinyl floors. On sheet vinyl, rubber or timber floors, always dilute to half strength. Do not use Agar Demolish on linoleum floors, as its alkalinity may discolour this material, and it will not remove permanent sealers.
