A suctionable gel for eliminating a contaminating species contained in an organic layer on the surface of a material, consisting of a colloidal solution comprising, preferably consisting of: 1 wt % to 25 wt %, preferably 5 wt % to 20 wt % based on the total weight of the gel, of at least one inorganic viscosifying agent; 13 wt % to 99 wt %, preferably 80 wt % to 95 wt % based on the total weight of the gel, of an organic solvent selected among the terpenes and the mixtures thereof; optionally, 0.01 wt % to 10 wt %, based on the total weight of the gel, of at least one dye and/or pigment; optionally 0.1 wt % to 2 wt %, based on the total weight of the gel, of at least one surfactant. The disclosure further relates to a decontamination method using the gel.

A chemical composition and method of making and using are provided for paint removal and/or for adhesive removal. The chemical composition comprises THF and a solvent selected from the group consisting of methyl acetate, acetone, dimethyl carbonate, propylene carbonate, and 1-chloro-4 (trifluoromethyl) benzene, and a combination thereof.

A method for reducing adhesion between a maskant and a substrate, wherein the maskant is adhered to a surface of the substrate, the method comprising applying a composition to the maskant.

A water based adhesive removal composition which is effective and non-residual on magnesium and alloys comprises an alkali, a main solvent, a volatilization inhibitor, a cosolvent, a corrosion inhibitor, a penetrant, a thickening agent, a surface active agent, and water. The water based adhesive removal composition is water-based formula, the water-based formula is not easy to volatilize and is not flammable. When being used to remove adhesive attached on the magnesium alloy component, there is no risk of magnesium ignition.

An athletic field removal/extraction and vacuuming device or apparatus configured to be pushed/pulled by a vehicle to remove residue paints and other particles, such as from indicia or logos, lettering and lines on a synthetic or other athletic field, particularly straight lines on the field. The apparatus comprises a frame having a coupling mechanism for mounting the apparatus to the vehicle. At least one sprayer sprays a chemical remover onto the indicia, which loosens or dissolves the paint. After brushing the line for paint removal with brushes, and with water added, the paint particles so dislodged, including any chemical remover and the dissolving indicia on the field are vacuumed up into a recovery tank for processing elsewhere. Also disclosed are methods of so cleaning a synthetic or other athletic fields and removing by vacuuming accumulated detritus.
