Yes, Vertrel® solvents can easily dissolve silicone lubricants and residues. Vertrel® is an excellent choice when silicone lubricants are required, such as in many medical applications. Vertrel® can carry up to 8% silicone by weight, which makes it far more cost effective than the other choices. Many customers are switching from HCFC-141b carrying agents and finding that Vertrel® solvents work very well in this application.
