Opteon™ SF80 is used as a replacement / alternative for 3M™ Novec™ 71DE, offering comparable cleaning performance for precision cleaning and vapor degreasing applications in electronics and industrial manufacturing.
Opteon™ SF80 is a fluorinated engineered cleaning fluid designed for precision cleaning and vapor degreasing processes used in electronics manufacturing and industrial production environments.
The fluid is formulated using a proprietary fluorinated solvent blend that provides strong solvency for removing oils, flux residues, particulates, and manufacturing contaminants from sensitive electronic assemblies and precision components.
Opteon™ SF80 offers fast evaporation and low surface tension, allowing the fluid to penetrate small gaps, tight geometries, and complex assemblies. This enables effective cleaning of delicate electronic components while ensuring minimal residue after evaporation.
Because of its non-flammable nature and favorable environmental profile, Opteon™ SF80 is suitable for use in automated vapor degreasing systems, ultrasonic cleaning equipment, and precision cleaning processes where safe and reliable operation is required.
Industries that commonly use Opteon™ SF80 include electronics manufacturing, semiconductor equipment production, aerospace component cleaning, optical component manufacturing, and precision engineering industries.
Opteon™ SF80 is supplied for industrial and OEM applications and is available in multiple packaging sizes to support both maintenance cleaning and large-scale production environments.
