Disclosed is a synergistic paint removing composition comprising a plurality of known solvents in very specific proportions, namely: 5 to 55 % of N-methyl pyrrolidone, 6 to 45 % of a dibasic ester, 5 to 40 % of a terpen derivative or an oleoresin, 2 to 15 % of ethylene glycol monoethyl ether acetate, and 1 to 5 % of a wetting agent, all the above percentages being expressed by weight. This composition is partially miscible in water even though some of its constituents are not water miscible, thereby making the composition easy to wash and thus preventing oily film to be left on the treated substrate. The composition according to the invention is normally in a liquid form. If desired, for some applications, a thickening agent can be added thereto to 'convert' it to a gel. |
