How to Use Cleaning
Cleaning with Dow OS fluids is a simple process. Parts may be immersed in the cleaning
fluid with vigorous action or the fluid can be applied by spray. Soils are lifted from the
surfaces by the action of the fluid. Lightly contaminated components can be cleaned by
wiping them with tissues impregnated with Dow OS fluids. Dow OS fluids are compatible
with a wide range of materials and will not harm most substrates, including most plastics
and delicate coatings. Their mild cleaning action also makes them suitable for cleaning
multi-material components and devices. However, it is advisable to check the compatibility
of Dow OS fluid with the surfaces to be cleaned. Dow OS fluids are excellent solvents for
nonvolatile silicone materials. Contaminated surfaces that have been cleaned with Dow OS
fluid can subsequently be coated or bonded because the Dow OS fluid will completely
evaporate leaving no trace of silicone.
Environmental Dow OS fluids are pure methyl polysiloxanes, their lifetime in the atmosphere is between 10
Status and 30 days. The ultimate oxidative degradation products are carbon dioxide, silicic acid
and water.
