WEST CHESTER, Pa., Oct. 24, 2018 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Dumond Chemicals applauds and commends the largest US Retailers who announced they will no longer sell paint strippers made with methylene chloride or the toxic solvent NMP in its stores in the U.S., Canada, Mexico and Central America or e-commerce sites as of February 2019. These major US retailers include but are not limited Lowe's, Sherwin Williams, Home Depot, Menards, Ace and True Value.
All of which have announced in the last two months that they will stop selling paint strippers containing the deadly chemicals, some of which have killed unsuspecting consumers overcome by the toxic fumes.
Environmental & safety advocates have been placing pressure on the home improvement retail and paint stripping manufacturing industries to eliminate harmful and dangerous chemicals such as Methylene Chloride and N-Methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP). Additionally, the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) has been studying the harmful effects of these chemicals, where several fatalities have been documented.
