Digesil® NC is a highly sought-after silicone de-polymerizer from RPM that effectively eliminates silicone-based sealants, adhesives, overspray of silicone water repellents, coatings, and release agents. This product has proven to work effectively with Momentive (GE) silicones.
Benefits of Digesil® NC
Quickly dissolves cured silicone. Leaves a silicone-free surface
Chlorinated and fluorinated solvent-free
Negligible aromatic solvent content
Environmentally responsible
Low odor 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)
Safe on paint and powder coating
Water free
Application
Important: Water must not be in contact with Digesil in any way, as this will stop it from working. Do not dilute or alter the product in any way.
Remove heavy accumulations of adhesive or sealants using scrapers or other method.
Fill a suitable container with Digesil, leaving room for the part.
Let soak for 15 – 30 minutes or until residue softens, “lifts” or shows signs of dissolving.
The part can be left to soak as long as it takes to remove all the silicone. This varies based on the type, brand and age of the silicone.
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 removal of all residues. If you do not want to expose the part to water, then use either methanol or ethanol to clean the part. We do not recommend IPA, as customers have informed us that it does leave a residue.
As a private pilot, comms are always on my mind. I have a Marine Corps HUMVEE that requires hearing protection. This solves that challenge and allows conversation while on the move
Must have for anyone working in the aircraft engine business.
Over abundance of information provided in this book that is explained in easily understood terms with easily comprehended imaging. Well worth the money.
I absolutely love this product. I have used it for years, but I have to say the shipping took over 30 days. Not sure why but it did so I’m not that satisfied with that part but I love the product.
