Digesil®NC Conc – 704

Catalytic solvent that shears the Si-O bond in the silicone molecule to break down silicone elastomer, rubber, resins as well as oils and greases so that they dissolve in the carrier.

Description

DIGESTS CURED SILICONE, OILS, GREASE, ELASTOMER, RUBBER

Catalytic solvent that shears the Si-O bond in the silicone molecule to break down silicone elastomer, rubber, resins as well as oils and greases so that they dissolve in the carrier. The residues can be rinsed away with water or iso-propanol to leave a silicone-free surface. Low solvency for non-silicones means it has little effect on most plastics, paint or powder coating though it will dissolve nylon and butyl. Does not corrode metals and may be used on glass. As the vapour pressure is low, it is not a VOC.

  • Quickly dissolves cured silicone, oils and greases
  • High Capacity
  • Leaves silicone-free surface
  • Non VOC
  • Chlorinated and fluorinated solvent free
  • Negligible aromatic solvent content
  • Environmentally responsible
  • Low odour for operator comfort
  • High flash point for safety
  • Low density for ease of handling
  • Rinses with water or solvent
  • Safe on glass, metal and most plastic (except nylon and butyl)
  • Safe on paint and powder coating (not nylon)
  • Water free
