About RPM Technology LLC
Founded in 2003, RPM Technology has established itself as a trusted name in the chemical solutions industry, particularly for aviation and industrial applications. Their product lines are designed to address the specific needs of these sectors, providing effective and efficient solutions for various maintenance challenges. With over 75 years of combined experience in the chemical and aviation industries, the RPM Technology team brings unparalleled expertise and commitment to quality.
Key Product Lines Now Available at Pilots HQ
As part of this exciting partnership, Pilots HQ will now offer several of RPM Technology’s renowned product lines:
1. PolyGone - Sealant Removal from RPM Technology
PolyGone is RPM Technology's flagship product line, known for its ability to remove polysulfide (PRC) and silicone RTV sealants. The unique formulation of PolyGone products ensures safe and efficient removal, minimizing maintenance downtime and costs. This makes PolyGone an essential tool for aviation maintenance professionals who need reliable and effective sealant removal solutions.
What is PolyGone Used For?
RPM Technology's PolyGone primarily removes cured polysulfide (PRC, Flamemaster, AC Tech) and silicone (GE, Dow, Rhodia, NuSil, Wacker). PolyGone can also remove some other tenacious sealants and adhesives. PolyGone can be used in aviation, marine, window, and any industrial application where polysulfide is used.
How Does PolyGone Work?
RPM Technology's PolyGone penetrates the polymer to cleave it into smaller parts, emulsifying the polymer. This emulsification prevents re-deposition and enables easy rinsing. PolyGone reacts chemically with the sealants, so temperature is very important. We recommend a minimum temperature of 70°F and around 80°F for good performance. In industrial situations, you can heat to 110°F for enhanced performance.
What Approvals Does Poly Gone Have?
RPM Technology PolyGone has passed Boeing’s D6-17487, except for paint softening, and Douglas’ CSD #1, except for acrylic crazing. Even with scraping, the paint will still get damaged, so we do not view the paint softening as a limitation. Keep in mind that this relates to top coats, not primer. PolyGone will not remove fuel tank primers. As for the crazing, as long as you use the product on a stretched acrylic window, like what is found on pressurized aircraft, you will not have any issues.
We do not recommend using PolyGone on windows from non-pressurized aircraft or helicopters. NavAir and AFRL have also tested PolyGone on Navy and Air Force aircraft and Bell Helicopters. If you attend the Bell Helicopter training class, they recommend using PolyGone 310-AG on the transmission housing to avoid damaging the magnesium.
How Long Does It Take to Work?
The reaction of PolyGone with the sealant starts in under 1 minute; however, it will take several minutes before you see anything. Complete removal depends on the type of polymer, thickness of the polymer, temperature, agitation, and age of the polymer.
2. Digesil - Silicone Removal from RPM Technology
The Digesil line from RPM Technology is designed to dissolve cured silicones, urethanes, and other stubborn polymers that can be challenging to remove. Ideal for maintenance and repair operations, Digesil products ensure thorough cleaning and preparation of surfaces, facilitating smooth reapplication of new materials. This line is handy in scenarios where the complete removal of old materials is critical for the integrity of new applications.
What is Digesil?
RPM Technology's Digesil is a chemical blend designed to remove numerous semi-cured and fully cured silicones. Some examples of manufacturers include Momentive (GE), Dow Corning, BlueStar, NuSil, ShinEtsu, and Wacker. We recommend the NC-X grade for Dow Corning and the NC grade for most other brands.
How Long does it take for Digesil to Work?
This depends on the silicone's polymer type, thickness, temperature, agitation, and age. The reaction of RPM Technology's Digesil with the sealant starts in as little as 30 seconds, but it will take 10-20 minutes before you see anything.
3. eOx - Aircraft Cleaner from RPM Technology
eOx products from RPM Technology are formulated to clean various aircraft surfaces, effectively removing contaminants without damaging sensitive materials. This makes RPM Technology's eOx essential to routine maintenance and deep cleaning tasks, ensuring that aircraft surfaces remain in optimal condition. The safe and effective cleaning capabilities of eOx products make them a preferred choice for maintenance crews who prioritize performance and safety.
- Powerful formula designed to effectively clean and degrease aircraft surfaces.
- Safe for use on various materials, ensuring no damage to sensitive parts.
- Ideal for routine maintenance and deep cleaning tasks.Reduces maintenance time by efficiently removing contaminants.
- Comes in a convenient gallon jug for extended use.
- Trusted by aviation professionals for its reliability and performance.
4. PolyWipes - Saturated Cleaning Wipes From RPM Technology
PolyWipes from RPM Technology are pre-saturated cleaning wipes designed to remove dirt, grease, and sealant residues quickly and effectively. They are perfect for on-the-go cleaning and maintenance, providing a convenient solution for ensuring surfaces are clean and ready for inspection or further treatment. PolyWipes' portability and ease of use make them a must-have for maintenance teams operating in dynamic environments.
What are PolyWipes used for?
RPM Technology's PolyWipes are used to remove uncured polysulfide (PRC, Flamemaster, AC Tech), silicone (GE, Dow, Rhodia, NuSil, Wacker), paints, greases, oils, and other uncured sealants and adhesives.
What happens if my PolyWipes have dried out?
This is the real benefit of RPM Technology's PolyWipes! Unlike other wipes on the market, PolyWipes are completely water-based. This means that if they dry out, all you need to do is moisten them with water. Other wipes contain a blend of solvents and water, so you do not know what to add to reconstitute them, and you wind up throwing them away, thus costing you more money.
5. PolyScrapers
RPM Technology's Polyscraper tools are designed to efficiently and safely remove tough sealants such as polysulfide and silicone RTV. These advanced tools minimize maintenance time and costs by effectively breaking down and eliminating sealant residues without damaging underlying surfaces. Ideal for aviation and industrial applications, Polyscrapers sealant removal tools enhance operational efficiency and surface preparation, ensuring optimal performance and longevity of new sealant applications.
- Comprehensive kit designed for efficient removal of polysulfide and silicone sealants.
- Includes 10 specialized scrapers to tackle various sealant removal challenges.
- Durable construction ensures long-lasting performance.
- Ergonomic design for comfortable and effective use.
- Ideal for aviation maintenance and industrial applications.
- Reduces maintenance time and costs by providing reliable and efficient sealant removal.
