Dicone NC15 Gel
Silicone sealant & adhesive remover gel
Description and use
Dicone NC15 Gel is a silicone "digestant", formulated to remove silicone-based sealants and adhesives, cured silicone elastomers and silicone water repellent overspray. NC15 is formulated to a gel viscosity for application to vertical surfaces and to allow for extended dwell times required to remove heavy sealant and adhesive residues.
Dicone NC15 Gel utilizes new solvent technology to dissolve cured silicone resins and polymers with a non-flammable, non-chlorinated and non-aromatic cleaning solution. Safer and more efficient than chlorinated solvents, xylene, toluene, benzenes, alcohols, and caustic solutions normally used for these applications.
Dicone NC15 Gel removes silicone residues from brick, concrete, natural stone and most glass surfaces. May damage metal, painted and synthetic finishes. Always test to confirm compatibility. NC15 is corrosive and should be handled accordingly.
Dicone NC15 Gel may be used to remove cured silicone from tools and equipment where immersion in Dicone NC9 or NC25 fluids is impractical. Apply the gel to caulking guns, pump dispensers and other application tools to loosen and remove silicone buildups. Refer to product data sheet for Dicone NC9 or NC25 for additional information on equipment cleaning applications.
Advantages
* Fast acting - removes most sealants and adhesive residues in 30 minutes to 1 hour.
* Contains no chlorinated or aromatic solvents.
* Gel consistency adheres to vertical surfaces, reduces spillage and waste.
* Removes many types of oil and grease stains from porous surfaces.
Limitations
* Product efficiency is reduced when temperatures are below 40еЎ F and above 85еЎ F.
* Not recommended for direct contact with wood or finished wood surfaces.
* May damage or discolor some paints and metal finishes. Will attack nylon and similar synthetic coatings and finishes. Always test before large-scale applications.
