Peelable Paint: Easily Change Colors

Struggling to commit to a new wall color? Glasst has a unique solution for you with its Unpaint alternative to traditional paint. This innovative product can be applied with standard tools like brushes, rollers, or sprayers, but it’s not permanent. Once dried, the paint can be easily peeled off without the need for laborious sanding or solvents.

Glasst’s Revolutionary Unpaint Technology

Unpaint utilizes Glasst’s proprietary Glasstommer technology, allowing a liquid material to quickly transform into a thin, removable film. While the exact composition of the material is a trade secret, Glasst reveals that it includes a “biodegradable elastic component” that dries to form a film easily removable by peeling, similar to an adhesive.

The Origin of Glasstommer Technology

Initially developed to protect delicate surfaces during construction or renovations, Glasstommer technology simplifies the process by offering a Universal Protective Coating that can be quickly sprayed on, eliminating the need for paper and tape coverings.

Usage and Application of Unpaint

Glasst ensures that Unpaint is user-friendly, recommending two to three coats with drying intervals for optimal results. After approximately 24 hours, the material can be easily removed by peeling, similar to protective plastic on electronics.

Tradeoffs and Durability

While Unpaint offers convenience, it may not be as durable as traditional paint, making it more susceptible to scratches. Glasst advises testing on a small area to ensure proper adhesion, easy removal, and no residual stains.

Environmental Considerations

Glasst emphasizes that Unpaint is not a permanent finish, as the material will naturally biodegrade after a few years. To prevent difficulties in removal, it’s recommended to peel off within a year of application.

Applications and Recommendations

Unpaint is an ideal choice for renters looking to customize without long-term commitment or for those with seasonal decor preferences. Additionally, it can be used on various surfaces, including wood, metal, and fabric.
