PEEL AWAY® Celebrates 30 Year Anniversary
Dumond Chemicals, Inc. have been manufacturing and supplying innovative and environmentally safe Paint Removal Systems under the PEEL AWAY® Brand to paint retailers for 30 years, we are very proud to have achieved such a milestone and owe a great deal of our success to the support of the Paint Industry and our national distribution network.
President and CEO, John J. Petroci III looks back at the 30 years since Peel Away® 1 Heavy Duty Paint Remover was introduced; “This year we are delighted to be celebrating the 30th Anniversary of Peel Away® 1. Our philosophy is the same today as it was in 1981, to revolutionize the Paint and Coatings Removal Industry on the principles of providing environmentally responsible solutions and quality products to safely remove unwanted coatings from an array of surfaces in a user friendly, cost effective manner. Through our passion and commitment to the Paint Industry and our national distribution network, we pride ourselves on our reputation for quality, providing innovative products supported by outstanding customer care. None of this would have been possible without the commitment of our skilled workforce and the ongoing support we have received from our loyal customers over the past 30 years, which we greatly appreciate”.
To celebrate, we made Value-added Packaging Enhancements to Peel Away® 1, the #1 Choice of Professionals who perform Historic Restoration and Lead Paint Abatement for over 25 years. Peel Away®1 Heavy Duty Paint Remover “Now” includes Citri-Lize™ Neutralizer, pH Test Kit, Peel Away Paper, Alkaline Paste, Peel Away Tool and Simplified Instructions for all customer types. Peel Away®1 is an environmentally safe method for removing up to 30 Coats of oil-based lead paints in a single application. The introduction of Peel Away® 1 was the industry’s “first” safe paint removal system and an effective alternative to open flames, heat guns, sanding and traditional blasting methods while minimizing or eliminating containment procedures. By keeping the lead paint in a wet state, no airborne lead dust is generated.
Seeing a need for other commercial and industrial paint and coatings removal products, driven by the eagerness of contractors for alternatives to complex, costly and 
time-consuming removal methods addressing a vast range of high performance coatings and coating combinations, subsequent PEEL AWAY® formulas were developed to provide efficient solutions to daunting jobsite challenges.
In 2006, Dumond under the PEEL AWAY® Brand introduced SMART STRIP™, a revolutionary paint remover that is positioned as the safest, most effective, and environmentally friendly method to remove virtually any coating from any surface. This customer-driven technology to simplify paint removal projects has eliminated confusion from the buying/selling process and PEEL AWAY® remains the most recognized brand in thenon-methylene chloride stripper category with DIY, PRO, and Industrial end-users.
A lot has changed since 1981, but Dumond’s strategic direction remains the same. Now, and since our founding, Dumond is dedicated to R&D and innovation, developing safe, effective and environmentally friendly solutions to Paint Removal, Stone & Masonry Care, Graffiti Control, and Lead Abatement & Encapsulating Products. At Dumond, we believe the optimal “Green” Products should be developed and manufactured taking the steps to minimize environmental impact and exceeding the most stringent regulatory requirements while delivering maximum performance. Formulated and engineered to meet demanding challenges of applicators globally.
