Citrus and hydrocarbon oil blend that cuts through adhesive residue fast. Removes self-adhesive labels and stickers from pipe fittings, tools, brackets and hardware without damaging most surfaces underneath.
The Timco 200ml Label Remover is one of those products that earns its keep in a tool bag without taking up any real space. It uses a blend of citrus and hydrocarbon oils to penetrate the adhesive bond beneath self-adhesive labels and stickers, breaking it down so the label lifts cleanly rather than tearing into a sticky, half-removed mess. Anyone who has tried to pull a price sticker off a new hand tool and ended up with a palm full of papery residue will understand exactly why this exists.
The formula works by soaking through the paper face of the label and into the adhesive layer underneath. Once that bond is compromised, the label and any remaining residue wipes away without the usual scraping and swearing. It can also shift some inks and dyes, which makes it useful for cleaning up surfaces where a label has been sitting for a while and left a ghost behind.
Where Timco Label Remover Gets Used on Site
On a working site or in a trade workshop, labels turn up everywhere you do not want them. Pipe fittings come through with specification stickers that need to be removed before installation. New brackets and fixings often carry barcodes or branding that customers do not want left on show. Hand tools accumulate price tickets and stock labels over time. The Timco label remover handles all of these quickly, and the 200ml aerosol format means it is easy to carry and apply with precision.
Surface Safety
The product is described as safe on most materials, which covers the typical metal, plastic and painted surfaces you would encounter with trade hardware and fittings. It is not a harsh solvent, so it is less likely to cause the kind of surface damage that stronger degreasers can produce on plastics or finished metals. That said, it is always worth a quick test on an inconspicuous area if you are working on something sensitive or expensive.
At under three pounds for a 200ml can, the Timco label remover is the kind of item worth keeping a couple of in the van. Not everything needs a bulk order, but this is small enough and useful enough that running out of it at the wrong moment is quietly annoying.
Pro Tip: Spray onto the label, give it 20 to 30 seconds to soak through before you try to lift it, rather than wiping immediately, and the residue will come away in one pass instead of smearing.
Used across the trades wherever hardware, fittings or tools carry self-adhesive labels that need to be removed cleanly. Plumbers will use it on pipe fittings before installation, joiners on brackets and ironmongery, and general tradespeople on hand tools and fixings coming out of stock. It also sees use in workshops and stores where new stock needs to be cleaned up before it goes out to a customer or gets fitted on site.

Not suitable for: Not recommended for use on highly sensitive or soft plastics without testing first. Will not remove all inks or permanent adhesives, and very old or industrial-grade label residues may require repeat application.
Shake the can, then spray directly onto the label or sticker. Allow the product 20 to 30 seconds to work through the paper and into the adhesive layer beneath. Lift an edge of the label and peel away, then wipe any remaining residue with a clean cloth. For stubborn patches, a second application usually does the job.

Spray directly onto the label or sticker, saturating the surface
Wait 20 to 30 seconds to allow the formula to penetrate through the paper into the adhesive
Lift a corner of the label and peel away steadily
Wipe any remaining adhesive residue with a clean dry cloth
Repeat application on stubborn or aged residue if needed
Will this damage the surface underneath the label?
It is safe on most metals, plastics and painted surfaces commonly found on trade hardware and fittings. On sensitive or soft plastics, test a small hidden area first before applying across the whole surface.
Can it remove residue that is left behind after a label has already been peeled off?
Yes. The citrus and hydrocarbon oil blend is designed to break down adhesive residue as well as lift full labels, so it works well on that sticky patch left after a label has been partially removed.
Formulated from a blend of citrus oils and hydrocarbon solvents, this product works by dissolving the acrylic or rubber-based adhesive used in most self-adhesive labels. The citrus component aids in breaking down organic adhesive compounds while the hydrocarbon carrier assists penetration through the label face. Supplied in a 200ml aerosol can for controlled, targeted application.
