Digesil® FS can be used to clean reactors, blenders and filling equipment that is used to produce fluorosilicone, fluorosilicone sealants and adhesives. Can also be used for cleaning injection and moulding equipment, reclaiming of rejects - in fact any area where fluorosilicone is used!
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 minute’s immersion. The total immersion time depends on the thickness of the fluorosilicone layer, generally 12 hours is enough. 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 iso-propanol or Digesil® Rinsing agent. If desired water and a detergent can be used.
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 iso-propanol or Digesil® Rinsing solvent A final rinse with an aqueous detergent may be used.
Thin Layers: Rub with a cloth or brush wetted with Digesil® FS and rinse as described above.
