FAQ

What applications is the Vinyl Zapper® Technology suitable for?
The Vinyl Zapper ® can be used to remove all kinds of adhesive sticker from a range of surfaces. This includes vinyl nameplates, stickers, reflecting foils, double-sided adhesive tape, decals and adhesive residues.
What types of surfaces can the Vinyl Zapper® be used on?
The Vinyl Zapper ® is primarily used on painted car body parts. Thanks to its special, patented design, it goes about its job without damaging the paint below. In addition, the Vinyl Zapper ® can, of course, also be used on other materials, such as bright metals, aluminum or wood. It is also suitable to a limited extent for use on water-based paints, fiberglass-reinforced plast…
Which drive units can the Vinyl Zapper® be used with?
The Vinyl Zapper ® is designed to be used with the MBX ® Electric and MBX ® Pneumatic drive units. These units guarantee the correct speed for using the Vinyl Zapper ® and optimum control of the tool.
What types of surface can be prepared (cleaned) with a Vinyl Zapper®?
This depends very much on the type and composition of the objects to be removed. The surface and how the user handles the tool also play a role. For this reason, it’s not possible to make any general predictions regarding the area of stickers, etc. – that is, how many square feet – that can be removed using a Vinyl Zapper ® .
Why are the rubber segments of the Vinyl Zapper® broken?
Check whether the Vinyl Zapper ® is mounted the right way round. The arrows on the Vinyl Zapper ® indicate the direction of rotation. This means that the rubber segments must point in the direction opposite to the direction of rotation, so that they bend backwards slightly during work.
