Description

General description

Novec 7100 fluid consists of two inseparable isomers with essentially identical properties. These are (CF₃)₂CFCF₂OCH₃ (CAS No. 163702-08-7) and CF₃CF₂CF₂CF₂OCH₃ (CAS No. 163702-07-6).

Novec^™ 7100 engineered fluid is a proprietary methoxy-nonafluorobutane from 3M^™. This hydrofluoroether is a clear, colorless and low-odor fluid intended to replace ozone-depleting substances (ODSs) and compounds with high global warming potential (GWP) in many applications. It has zero ozone depletion potential. High boiling point and low surface tension properties make it ideal for use in vapor degreasing applications as a neat (pure), azeotropic component or co-solvent parts cleaner. In addition, its chemical and thermal stability, non-flammability and low toxicity make it useful for many other industrial and specialty solvent applications.

Application

• Cleaning and rinsing agent

-Heavy-duty cleaning (co-solvent) – heavy oils, greases, fluxes
-Medium-duty cleaning (azeotrope)– oils, greases, waxes
-Light-duty cleaning (neat)– particulates, fluorolubes, light oils, fluoropolymer

• Lubricant carrier: fluorocarbons, hydrocarbons, and silicones
• Spot-free water drying agent (with surfactants added)
• Specialty solvents, dispersion media, reaction media
• Spray contact cleaner
• CFC, HCFC, HFC and PFC replacement
• Dielectric test media
• Heat transfer
• Preservation of biological specimens
• Cryofreezing solution

• Non-flammable
• Non-conductive
• Compatible with plastics
• Low toxicity
• Low Global Warming Potential (GWP)
• Zero ozone depletion potential
• VOC-exempt solvent (US EPA)
• Low surface tension penetrates tight spaces for improved cleaning
