Digesil FS
Fluorosilicone De-polymerizer

Digesil^® FS

Digesil^® FS is more than a solvent; its chemical action shears the silicone/oxygen bond, cutting fluorosilicones into random lengths and rendering it soluble. Digesil FS can be used to clean reactors, blenders, and filling equipment that is used to produce fluorosilicones, fluorosilicones sealants, and adhesives.  It dissolves fluorosilicone seals and gaskets.  Can also be used for cleaning injection molding equipment, reclaiming of rejects, in fact any area where fluorosilicones are used.

Benefits of Digesil FS

• Quickly and effectively removes both cured and uncured fluorosilicones.

• Biodegradable, thus environmentally friendly.

• Slow evaporation rate reduces risk of vapors and loss of product.

• Flash point 133°F

Application

Tank Application: Charge Digesil FS into a tank with a lid.  Suitable materials of construction are: stainless steel, mild steel, polypropylene, and for small amounts, glass. Immerse the parts to be processed in Digesil FS.  The digesting reaction starts after about 20 minutes of immersion.  The total immersion time depends on the thickness of the fluorosilicone layer, generally 12 hours is sufficient.  If the part can be moved in the solution or the solution agitated with a stirrer or pump, the immersion time can be dramatically reduced.  Remove and rinse with eOx.

Closed Systems: Fill with Digesil FS and leave for up to 12 hours.  It is best to keep the Digesil FS circulating if possible.  Drain and rinse with eOx.

Thin Layers: Rub with a cloth or brush wetted with Digesil FS.  Rinse with eOx.
