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 71DE Replacement by Gluditec Coven FP2171DE.
Description of 3M Novec 71DE Replacement – Coven FP2171DE
COVEN FP2171DE fluoride fluid is a true azeotrope, with constant vapor and liquid composition at its boiling point. This fluid is ideal for medium-duty cleaning and degreasing tasks, as well as specialty solvent applications, and is intended to replace ozone-depleting materials in many applications. The increased solvency, low surface tension, nonflammability, and constant composition during boiling make COVEN FP2171DE fluid perfect for immersion and vapor degreasing. Additionally, these properties make it suitable for certain coating and lubricant deposition applications where enhanced solvency is required.
