Excellent performance with high solvency and low surface tension
Effective in cleaning heavy greases, oils, waxes, silicones and non-polar flux residues
Easy to maintain and use in a vapor degreaser with stable bath composition during extended use
Non-flammable with an excellent safety profile
Environmentally sustainable with low global warming potential (GWP) and zero ozone depletion potential (ODP)
Faster cycle times, lower energy usage and improved cleaning of parts compared to aqueous cleaning
Effective for lubricant deposition applications where increased solvency is desired
Harsh or Harmful Chemistries
Ineffective Cleaning Performance
Expensive Outdated Solvent Technologies
Novec™ 73DE can be used in a wide variety of applications including:
Cleaning solvent for vapor degreasing, immersion cleaning and spray cleaning
Solvent cleaner for heavy greases, oils, waxes, silicones and non-polar flux residues
Lubricant deposition applications where increased solvency is desired
3M™ Novec™ Engineered Fluids are designed to dissolve the toughest cutting oils without compromising sustainability or worker safety.
Replace harmful cleaning chemistries like nPB, TCE and HCFC's with the sustainable alternative of Novec™ from 3M™.
