FAQs
Can this spray be used on rubber seals?
Yes, it can be used on rubber seals to keep them lubricated and prevent them from drying out or sticking, extending their lifespan.
Is this product safe for all types of plastic?
It is generally safe for most plastics, but a test on an inconspicuous area is recommended before full application to avoid any potential surface damage or discoloration.
How often should I reapply the silicone spray?
Reapplication frequency depends on the application and environmental conditions. For parts with frequent movement or exposure to moisture, reapplication may be needed more often. For static applications, a periodic check and reapplication every few months might suffice.
What is the shelf life of the product?
When stored correctly in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, the product typically has a shelf life of 2-3 years.
Can this be used on food preparation surfaces?
Yes, it is approved for incidental food contact, making it suitable for use on machinery and equipment in food production facilities where minor contact might occur.
Does it leave a greasy residue?
It leaves a dry, non-greasy protective film. However, over-application can lead to excess product that may feel slightly slick initially.
Troubleshooting
Spray nozzle is clogged
Turn the can upside down and spray for a few seconds to clear the nozzle. If blockage persists, remove the nozzle and soak it in warm water or a solvent, then rinse and dry thoroughly before reattaching.
Uneven spray pattern
Ensure the can has been shaken vigorously for at least 30 seconds before and during use. Check for any obstructions in the nozzle.
Product not dispensing
Verify that the can is not empty. Check that the nozzle is properly attached and not clogged. Ensure the actuator is being pressed fully.
Residue or tackiness after application
This can occur if applied too heavily or if the surface was not clean. Wipe away excess product with a clean cloth. Allow more time for the solvent to evaporate and the silicone film to fully form.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: No specific setup is required. Shake the can well before each use. Ensure the surface to be treated is clean and dry for optimal adhesion and performance.
Compatibility: This silicone spray is generally compatible with most plastics, rubbers, and metals. However, it is always recommended to test on an inconspicuous area first, especially with delicate materials or painted surfaces, to ensure no adverse reactions occur. Avoid contact with uncured silicone sealants, as it may inhibit their curing process.
Care: Store the aerosol can in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Keep out of reach of children. Ensure the nozzle is clear after use; if clogged, refer to troubleshooting. Dispose of empty cans responsibly according to local regulations.
