Suitable for cleaning all water-based paints, the Glidden Professional™ Wash System is available in three sizes. The larger LS200 is ideal for major construction sites and heavier usage, the LS120 is perfect for medium sized projects that require cleaning 119 gallons per wash cycle, and the more compact LS40 is more mobile and can easily fit into a small van after use on smaller projects.
How it works
The Glidden Professional™ Wash System is designed to make the management of water-based paint waste simpler and more sustainable.
- The spray gun can be used to wash rollers, brushes and any other items that have been used for waterborne paints.
- Once the unit is full, an additive is used to flocculate and separate the solid matter and water from the wash water.
- After 3-4 hours, clear water is left at the top of the tank, leaving paint sludge at the bottom.
- The clear water is then drawn off and either recycled or disposed of while the remaining residue is pumped through a filter, ready for removal and drying.
- Once dry, this solid residue can be bagged and disposed of as non-hazardous inert solid waste.
