Trusted Cleaning and Paint Removal Products Since 1875
Founded in 1875, The Savogran Company has built a legacy of innovation and quality in the development of cleaning and paint preparation products. Originally established as the India Alkali Works, we rebranded as The Savogran Company in 1926 to align with our flagship product name, which had gained widespread recognition. As an employee-owned company, we remain committed to delivering high-quality solutions for both retail and industrial markets. Our product portfolio includes removers, solvents, cleaners, and patching materials under the The Savogran Company and SCL Sterling labels, with a focus on safety and environmental responsibility. In 2018, we introduced a line of paint removal products formulated without methylene chloride and NMP, maintaining performance while reducing health risks.Our acquisition of the Sterling-Clark-Lurton Corporation in 2004 expanded our capabilities, leveraging synergies between two historic companies. We prioritize customer satisfaction through rigorous quality control and a deep understanding of industry needs. With over 140 years of experience, we continue to serve diverse sectors including paint, hardware, marine trade, and automotive aftermarket. Our dedication to excellence is reflected in our formulations, which balance effectiveness with user safety. Today, we operate as part of the Sunnyside family, upholding our tradition of trust and reliability.

Paint Removal Products
Our paint removal products deliver fast, effective stripping of latex, oil-based paints, varnish, and lacquers from wood, metal, and masonry surfaces. Formulated with advanced chemistry, they cling to vertical surfaces and penetrate multiple layers without damaging substrates. We offer methylene chloride-free options that maintain performance while reducing health risks, alongside industrial-strength solutions for heavy-duty applications.
Heavy Duty Cleaners
Designed for challenging cleaning tasks, our heavy-duty cleaners dissolve grease, oil, and grime from concrete, asphalt, and machinery. These phosphate-free formulations include degreasers with Bitrex to deter accidental ingestion and TSP substitutes that clean walls, floors, and siding without rinsing. They meet VOC compliance standards while maintaining effectiveness for both residential and commercial use.
Deglosser
Our deglossers remove oil, grease, and paint sludge while etching high-gloss finishes to improve adhesion for recoating. These solvents eliminate the need for sanding, saving time on projects involving wood, metal, or marine surfaces. DCM-free and VOC-compliant, they provide safe, efficient preparation for painting or refinishing tasks.
Brush Cleaners
Specialized brush cleaners dissolve dried paints, shellacs, and varnishes from natural and nylon bristles, restoring tools to like-new condition. These water-rinsable formulas work on oil and latex paints, with reusable solutions that reduce waste. Flammable options are clearly labeled to ensure safe handling and disposal.
Industrial Coating Removers
Engineered for demanding applications, our industrial coating removers tackle built-up layers on concrete, metal, and wood. Non-flammable options like SuperStrip remove adhesives and polyurethane, while S.I. series products address catalyzed finishes and powder coatings. These solvents meet aircraft-grade standards and are safe for use on sensitive materials like veneers.
