Novec™ 7100 replacement fluids are advanced fluorinated engineered liquids designed for precision cleaning, heat transfer, and vapor degreasing applications across multiple industrial sectors.
These fluids are based on HFE-7100 chemistry (methoxy-nonafluorobutane) or similar fluorinated blends, offering comparable physical and chemical properties such as low viscosity, controlled evaporation, non-flammability, and excellent dielectric performance.
Replacement options including TMC-7100, HFE-347E, AD-7100, PFE-10, and Promosolv Neo A1 are developed to deliver consistent performance in applications where Novec™ 7100 is traditionally used. These fluids provide effective cleaning of oils, flux residues, and particulates while ensuring compatibility with sensitive materials like plastics, elastomers, and metals.
Due to their low toxicity and environmental compliance (including zero ozone depletion potential), these fluids are widely adopted in industries requiring safe, high-performance cleaning and cooling solutions.
These products are suitable for use in vapor degreasing systems, immersion cleaning setups, and heat transfer systems where reliability, safety, and performance consistency are critical.
They are supplied for industrial and OEM applications, supporting both small-scale operations and high-volume manufacturing environments.
