3M Novec 8200 Engineered Fluid Film Cleaning Solvent
Type: Film Cleaning Solvent
Boiling Point: 76°C
Surface Tension: 13.6 dynes/cm
GWP: 55
Packing: 5KG / 20KG drum
3M Novec 8200 Engineered Fluid is a clear, colorless, low-odor solvent specifically designed for film cleaning applications. Engineered as a replacement for 1,1,1-trichloroethane and perchloroethylene, this proprietary fluid delivers excellent cleaning performance with zero ozone depletion potential and a low GWP of 55. With a boiling point of 76°C and low surface tension of 13.6 dynes/cm, Novec 8200 provides effective cleaning without leaching plasticizer from film substrates, making it ideal for acetate and Estar film cleaning in the motion picture and archival industries.
Novec 8200 offers a superior environmental profile — excluded by the U.S. EPA from VOC definition, certified as a Clean Air Solvent by California's SCAQMD, and not classified as a Hazardous Air Pollutant. Its nonflammable nature, low toxicity (200 ppm exposure guideline), and excellent compatibility with film substrates ensure safe and effective operation in high-speed film cleaning equipment. Optimized for use in Lipsner-Smith CF-9200 film cleaning machines and retrofitted equipment, Novec 8200 achieves running speeds exceeding 220 feet per minute with cleaning efficiency of 75,000 to 85,000 feet per gallon — delivering cost-competitive performance compared to traditional chlorinated solvents.
