Can Vertrel® Dissolve and Deposit Silicone Lubricants?
Yes, Vertrel® can easily dissolve silicone lubricants and residues. This makes Vertrel® an obvious 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® works very well in this application.
