Novec 7100 fluid consists of two inseparable isomers with essentially identical properties. These are (CF3)2CFCF2OCH3 (CAS No. 163702-08-7) and CF3CF2CF2CF2OCH3 (CAS No. 163702-07-6). Novec™ 7100 engineered fluid is a proprietary methoxy-nonafluorobutane from 3M™. This hydrofluoroether is a clear, colorless and low-odor fluid intended to replace ozone-depleting substances (ODSs) and compounds with high global warming potential (GWP) in many applications. It has zero ozone depletion potential. High boiling point and low surface tension properties make it ideal for use in vapor degreasing applications as a neat (pure), azeotropic component or co-solvent parts cleaner. In addition, its chemical and thermal stability, non-flammability and low toxicity make it useful for many other industrial and specialty solvent applications.
Application
