Coventry™ 12855 Zero-VOC Swelling Solvent provides outstanding swell characteristics for silicone tubing and components. It also can be used to clean and removes mold release compounds. This high-purity solvent was developed to swell silicone elastomers and tubing for fitment onto components, and then evaporate allowing the tubing to shrink back to its original dimensions. It does not contain any hazardous air pollutants while providing the swelling and dimensional return required for the most difficult jobs.
