DAP is Dow's consumer products division, which suggests they may have an industrial product that is similar.
Quoting some forum:
"Silicone-Be-Gone is really nothing more than gelled mineral spirits (and mineral spirits is the principal constituent of "paint thinner"). However, calling it "paint thinner" instead of mineral spirits gives the manufacturer the creative freedom to add whatever other stuff he figures might help oil based paint spread or self level better. If it's called "Mineral Spirits", then it would be false advertising and deceptive for the manufacturer to put other stuff in it."
Endeth quote
Then I read:
"There's a product called "Silicone-Be-Gone" that will soften silicone and contains dimethyl glutarate and dimethyl succinate. Xylene is also said to soften silicone fairly well. There's also a product called "DSR-5" that contains petroleum distillate, which is a pretty vague term for a nonpolar organic solvent."
