Citrine® Si66 (xylene/toluene replacement solvent) is a silicone solvent that serves as a viscosity-altering agent for liquid silicone rubber and as a cleaning solvent for uncured silicone rubber materials. This toluene substitute solvent is also utilized as a mold making silicone thinner for removing makeup and oil paint from brushes while creating molds for silicone casting.
The Si-66 solvent is designed as an environmentally friendly alternative to toluene and xylene while still providing the strong solvency that many silicone manufacturers, silicone casting, and printing companies require.
Formulated for compatibility and performance, Si66 matches or exceeds toluene’s solvency power while offering
