Packing: 5 kg / 20 kg drum
3M Novec 7100DL Engineered Fluid is a high purity version of 3M Novec 7100, specifically developed to meet the demanding purity requirements of the electronics industry. With tightly controlled specifications for ions, metals, particulate, and non-volatile residue (NVR ≤1.0 ppm maximum), this clear, colorless, low-odor fluid is used by the disk drive industry for lubricant deposition onto hard disk media and cleaning of head gimbal assemblies. It also serves as the diluent for 3M Novec Electronic Coating EGC-1700 and other electronics and medical applications requiring ultra-high purity and consistent product quality.
Novec 7100DL offers the same excellent environmental and safety profile as standard Novec 7100 — zero ozone depletion potential, low GWP of 320, and a time-weighted average exposure guideline of 750 ppm (8-hour average). Its low surface tension of 13.6 dynes/cm, boiling point of 61°C, and compatibility with most metals, plastics, and elastomers make it ideal for precision deposition, cleaning, and coating applications where purity and performance are critical.
