I'm looking for some sort of chemical to remove Hammerite from a metal
window
frame, which is why I don't want to use a blow torch. Any ideas?

I don't know whether Polycell paint stripper will get Hammerite off. It
probably will, but cellulose thinners certainly will.
Stripper takes pretty much anything off and the gel holds it in suspension
for a while. Thinners will solubilise it, but whether you have time to
remove it before they evaporate and the whole thing goes hard again is
another matter.
