Digesil® Gel is a silicone de-polymerizing solution designed to eliminate silicone-based sealants and adhesives and remove overspray of silicone water repellents, coatings, and release agents. This gel-formulated product has a controlled viscosity for precise application on vertical surfaces, reducing potential drips and runs.

Gel consistency adheres to the vertical surface and reduces spillage and waste.
Ideal for precision
Application
Important: Water must not be in contact with Digesil Gel in any way, as this will stop it from working. Mix Digesil Gel thoroughly with a clean stirring stick before use, as a small amount of liquid will form on top of the gel during storage. Do not dilute or alter the product in any way.
Remove heavy accumulations of adhesive or sealants using scrapers or other method.
Apply a ½-inch layer of Digesil Gel over the sealant to be removed.
Let the gel sit for 15 – 30 minutes or until residue softens, “lifts,” or shows signs of dissolving.
Digesil® Gel may be left on the surface for several hours to remove heavy buildup. Do not allow it to dry.
Removal: Although water may be used to rinse the product, rinsing with a mild cleaner such as eOx®, also available from RPM Technology, followed by pure water, will improve the removal of all residues.
