ACESOLVE SI

ACESOLVE SI is a special solvent developed to remove silicone based sealants from surfaces, rotating sealing tables, sealing machinery, etc.

As ACESOLVE SI shows a strong solvent effect on plastics, paints and seals, we recommend a compatibility test prior to its large scales use. Polyethylene, polypropylene and teflon based materials (e.g. Kalrez* and Zalak*) are resistant seal materials; rubber , PVC, polyurethane and Viton may be attacked by ACESOLVE SI.

Use and application

Uncured sealant residues can be removed easily by ACESOLVE SI.

ACESOLVE SI can be also used to clean parts of sealant mixing machines (e.g. mixer tubes and pistols). The degree of cleaning achieved depends on the state of cure of the silicone sealant. Fully cured sealant deposits will not be dissolved in any solvent, they will only swell.

As ACESOLVE SI evaporates very slowly, remainders of the solvent should be removedprior to use by either blowing out with compressed air or by base purging.

Handling

ACESOLVE SI is labelled as harmful (Xn).

When using ACESOLVE SI we recommend the use of suitable gloves. Fur further Health & Safety information please refer to the latest Material Safety Data Sheet.

Storage

ACESOLVE SI should be stored between 5 and40 °C in tightly closed containers. The minimum shelf life then is 1 year.
