3M stops production of PFAS-containing products
3M™ has recently made a significant announcement that is set to impact various industries: by the close of 2025, the company will cease the production of all fluoropolymers, fluorinated fluids, and products containing PFAS-based additives. This decision marks the end of an era for 3M’s specialized product lines as Novec coating, cleaning and cooling can be mentioned recognized Novec™ series—such as Novec™ 1700, 1702, 7100, 7200, 7300, 71DE, 72DE, 71DA, 72DA, 73DE, FC 3283, FC 40, among others—that have long been valued for their unique properties and applications across a range of sectors.
In this post, Prostech is excited to showcase 3M Novec 649 Replacement by Gluditec Coven FP40649 Electronic Grade Coating.
Description of 3M Novec 649 Replacement – Coven FP40649
Coven FP40649 belongs to the ketone fluoride group of compounds and is a clear, colorless, tasteless liquid. It is designed for use in critical environments like computer rooms, data centers, aviation, ships, vehicles, libraries, and oil and gas production facilities. Coven FP40649 offers high safety, low environmental impact, and superior fire-extinguishing performance, making it an effective alternative to chemical halon fire extinguishing agents. It represents a long-term, environmentally sustainable solution for special hazard fire protection.
Feature of 3M Novec 649 Replacement – Coven FP40649
3M Novec 649 replacement by Gluditec Coven FP40649 is highlighted by the following key features & advantages:
Features:
- Colorless, odorless, good solubility, insoluble in water, good thermal stability, ODP value is zero, no damage to the ozone layer, low greenhouse effect value, low surface tension, small viscosity, small latent heat of evaporation, excellent material compatibility and fire performance, high safety.
Advantages:
- Excellent environmental protection performance: the most stringent international environmental regulations.
- High fire-extinguishing efficiency: minimum extinguishing concentration: 3.5% for Type A fire, 4.5% for Type B fire, safe to use; the extinguishing concentration is much lower than (NOVAL).
- Good electrical insulation: dielectric strength up to (3mm) 74.6 kV and has passed the electrical insulation performance test of 110 kV.
- Good cooling performance: unique cooling effect after discharge.
- No residue after use: volatilizes quickly after use, which will not cause damage to precision instruments, antique calligraphy, and painting.
Application of 3M Novec 649 Replacement – Coven FP40649
- Widely used across regional or local fire extinguishing systems and portable fire extinguishers, especially suitable for electronic control centers, computer rooms, transformer rooms, power distribution cabinets, wind power equipment rooms, energy storage power stations, high-precision instruments, museums, data processing centers, ship control rooms, new energy vehicle lithium battery protection, and other fire protection scenarios.
- It can be used as a coolant for electronic equipment and as a protective gas for light metal smelting. Additionally, it can replace sulfur hexafluoride for transformer protection.
