SkyRestoreDigestive Solvent for Fully Cured One
or Two Part Polysulphide Sealants Adhesives

• SKYRESTORE digests polysulphide sealants and
  adhesives, its more than a solvent. Its
  chemical action shears the polysulphide molecule
  breaking it up into short lengths thus rendering
  the polysulphide soluble. SkyRestore has an
  affect on both cured and uncured material so it
  is ideal for removing unwanted polysulphide.
• SKYRESTORE does not contain aromatic or
  halogenated solvents and the ingredients are
  biodegradable so SkyRestore is environmentally
  friendly as well as being of low hazard when
  used as directed.
• SKYRESTORE will only digest polysulphide but it
  will dissolve partially cured polyurethane,
  paints, inks and other polymeric material.
• SKYRESTORE is a low evaporating liquid with a
  flash point of 45 degrees C and a boiling range
  of 144 to 205 degrees C and the individual
  solvents have a OEL (TVL or 100 ppm. It is
  classified as being irritant under EEC supply
  legislation.
