Light-Duty Cleaning
3M™ Novec™ Engineered Fluids can be used "neat" to remove light hydrocarbon and silicone oils. As highly-fluorinated compounds, Novec fluids are ideal for cleaning halogenated oils and greases. These solvents function effectively in the removal of particulate from components and final assemblies. And, when needed, Novec 71IPA fluid (an azeotropic blend of HFE and isopropyl alcohol) offers increased solvency while maintaining excellent materials compatibility.

Medium to Heavy-Duty Cleaning
3M has developed a number of nonflammable products that effectively clean medium-to heavy-duty soils. These products – azeotropes or blends of azeotropes – have much higher solvency than pure fluids and are useful on soils ranging from hydrocarbon and silicone oils to greases.

Co-solvent Cleaning
Removal of the most challenging soils such as heavy oils, greases and waxes can be accomplished with Novec fluid in a co-solvent process. This process uses two fluids: a low-volatility organic solvent that dissolves soils from part surfaces, and 7100, 7200 or 71IPA fluid, which function as effective rinsing agents to flush solvating agents and soils from part surfaces.

Bi-solvent Cleaning
Used to remove challenging soils, the bi-solvent's two-step process involves the immersion of a part in a solvent to remove the soil from the surface of the part. Second, a solvent rinse using 3M™ Novec™ Engineered Fluids in a vapor degreaser, removes the first solvent and the soil it accumulated. The part emerges free of both soil and residual solvent. This process is acceptable for use in the South Coast Air Quality Management District.
