Dissolves stubborn silicone smears and oily film so glass and panels finish clean.
Finishing a glazing run or facade repair shouldn’t end with days of chasing smears. Yet thin silicone residue, tooling marks, and oily film resist household solvents, streak under wipers, and attract dust. Scraping harder risks scratching coatings or glass. Crews lose time, punch lists slip, and callbacks multiply - especially on dark frames and sunlit curtain wall where every haze line shows.
SaraWest Silicone Residue Remover is built for that last 5% that standard cleaners miss. A balanced solvency blend and high-wetting surfactants creep under silicone oils and uncured smears, releasing them from glass, anodized aluminum, powder coat, ceramics, and other non-porous substrates. Controlled evaporation keeps the surface workable long enough to lift residue without flash-off streaks, then rinses clean to leave a paint- and sealant-ready surface. Non-chlorinated, residue-free, and engineered to avoid etching or whitening when used as directed.
Made in Pampa, Texas, inside our 30,000 sq ft facility with nearly 40 years of formulation and QC. Every batch is traceable and performance-checked before it ships. White-label ready: we fill in 33.8 oz bottles, 1.3 gal jugs, and 5 gal pails with your brand, artwork, and documentation, or we tune the solvency profile for your substrates and climate. Factory-direct chemistry that works hard and reads clean on your label.
- Balanced solvency system lifts silicone oils without flashing or streaking.
- Non-chlorinated formula that won’t etch glass or dull anodized aluminum.
- Rinses residue-free, leaving surfaces ready for coatings or sealant adhesion.
- Stays workable in 40–95°F, extending dwell time on warm facades.
- High-wetting surfactants penetrate tooling marks and tight edge details.
- Engineered for post-glazing cleanup, not a repurposed generic solvent.
Use as supplied; do not dilute. Test in a small inconspicuous area first.
Preparation: Mask adjacent porous stone and sensitive plastics. Remove heavy beads or blobs mechanically with a plastic scraper. Work between 40–95°F for best results.
Application: Apply liberally to the residue with a low-lint cloth, white nylon pad, or soft brush until the area is uniformly wet. Allow 2–5 minutes dwell, keeping the surface wet; extend dwell on heavier smears or in cooler conditions.
Agitation: Lightly agitate with the cloth or pad to break the film. For edges and hardware, use a detail brush. Lift softened residue with a plastic scraper as needed.
Removal: Wipe away loosened material with clean towels. Follow with a detergent-and-water rinse or a dedicated neutral cleaner to remove any remaining solvency traces. Dry with lint-free towels. Repeat on stubborn areas.
Compatibility notes: Safe on glass, ceramics, anodized aluminum, and most factory-cured powder coats when used as directed. Avoid unsealed porous stone and solvent-sensitive plastics; test rubber gaskets and coatings before full use.
- Removes 90–100% visible silicone haze in 1–3 passes per area.
- Cuts final clean time by up to 35% per 1,000 sq ft of facade.
- Reduces abrasive scraping strokes by 40–60% on typical glazing edges.
- Lowers rework and callback rates tied to smears by 50% or more.
- Leaves surfaces rinse-clean within 10 minutes at 70°F with no streaking.
Distributors sell commodity solvents with markup and thin tech support. We build task-specific chemistry, factory-direct, so you pay for performance - not a middle layer. Our Pampa, Texas plant formulates, fills, and QC-checks every lot, then labels it under your brand with the documentation your crews need. You get tighter control, faster revisions, and consistent supply without chasing stock through a catalog.
