Permatex RTV Silicone Dissolver 80ml – Professional RTV Silicone Remover
Permatex RTV Silicone Dissolver 80ml is a professional OEM-approved gel formula developed to dissolve and remove cured RTV silicone gasket residue quickly and safely. Instead of relying on excessive scraping or grinding, the advanced chemical formula softens stubborn silicone deposits, allowing easy removal while protecting valuable engine and machinery components.
The thick gel consistency clings to horizontal and vertical surfaces without dripping, allowing the active ingredients to remain in contact with the silicone for maximum cleaning performance. This targeted action makes the product especially effective for cleaning engine flanges, gasket surfaces, housings, covers, and precision-machined components.
Permatex RTV Silicone Dissolver safely removes stubborn RTV gasket materials, including heavy-duty silicone sealants such as Permatex The Right Stuff® Gasket Maker, helping technicians prepare perfectly clean sealing surfaces before installing new gaskets or sealants.
The non-corrosive formula protects aluminum, steel, iron, and most plastic components while reducing the risk of surface damage commonly caused by aggressive scraping tools. This makes it an excellent choice for professional mechanics, maintenance technicians, industrial workshops, and automotive repair facilities.
For best results, remove thick layers of silicone mechanically before applying the gel. Apply a generous amount over the remaining residue and allow it to work for 5 minutes or longer, depending on the thickness of the silicone. Wipe away the softened residue or gently scrape it off. Repeat the application if necessary until the surface is completely clean.
Note: Permatex RTV Silicone Dissolver is designed specifically for RTV silicone gasket materials and is not recommended for non-silicone gasket residue.
