Digesil® NC

Silicone De-polymerizer

Digesil® NC

Digesil NC de-polymerizes uncured and cured silicone elastomers, resins, oils, and greases from components, surfaces, tools, electronics and process equipment used in engineering, construction, and glazing industries.  Digesil NC is effective and fast working.  It has a high flash point for safety and contains less than 0.2% aromatics.

Benefits of Digesil NC

  • 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

  • Safe on glass, metal, and most plastic (except nylon)
  • Safe on paint and powder coating
  • Water free

Application

Important: In all cases water must not be added to Digesil NC or be present on the surface to be cleaned as this will stop Digesil NC from working.

  • For best results, immerse the part to be cleaned.
  • Digesil NC will remain effective through 5-10 uses of the cleaning solution or until the action stops.
  • The effectiveness of the used solution can be enhanced by adding fresh Digesil NC.
  • Digesil will loosen and debond cured silicone residues in 30 minutes to 1 hour.
  • Agitation will decrease removal time.
  • For best results, rinse the part well with isopropanol and then water.
  • Although the silicone may not break apart on its own, once the part is agitated or the silicone disturbed, it will fall off the substrate.
