Packing: 20 kg 5kg/ drum
3M Novec 7100 Engineered Fluid is a clear, colorless, low-odor fluid designed to replace ozone-depleting substances and high-GWP compounds across multiple applications. Chemically known as methoxy-nonafluorobutane (C₄F₅OCH₃), this proprietary fluid offers zero ozone depletion potential, a low global warming potential of 320, and a time-weighted average exposure guideline of 750 ppm (8-hour average). Its high boiling point of 61°C and low surface tension of 13.6 dynes/cm make it ideal for vapor degreasing and precision cleaning applications, while its chemical and thermal stability enable use as a neat solvent, azeotropic component, or co-solvent parts cleaner.
Novec 7100 delivers outstanding performance across diverse applications — from heavy-duty cleaning of oils, greases, and fluxes to light-duty particulate removal and fluoropolymer cleaning. Its excellent material compatibility with most metals, hard polymers, and sensitive plastics such as polycarbonate and PMMA makes it a versatile choice for cleaning assemblies containing composite materials. Nonflammable, with practically non-toxic inhalation properties and minimal skin and eye irritation, Novec 7100 ensures safe and sustainable operation in electronics manufacturing, precision cleaning, and heat transfer applications.
