Silicone grease is used in a variety of applications on a range of materials and can be difficult to remove from those materials. LssChemicals Betty’s Beloved Brew is specially formulated to answer the question “how to remove silicone grease from metals” along with other materials.
What is silicone grease used for?
Silicone grease is a waterproof lubricant. It is used industrially as a lubricant and corrosion inhibitor for metal components and is also used to preserve rubber parts. Silicone can also be found in industrial adhesives to seal and bond metal, plastic, and more. Silicone grease and adhesives are waterproof, making them difficult to clean and requiring an industrial solvent to remove them from metals and other materials.
