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, 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 7200 Replacement by Gluditec Coven FP217200.
Description of 3M Novec 7200 Replacement – Coven FP217200
3M Novec 7200 Replacement – COVEN 217200 Fluoride Fluid is a clear, colorless, and low-odor fluid designed to replace ozone-depleting substances (ODSs), compounds with high global warming potential (GWP), and chlorinated materials in various applications. It offers several benefits:
- Higher Boiling Point: Superior to most CFCs, HCFCs, and HFCs, which helps reduce evaporative losses.
- Low Surface Tension and Viscosity: Facilitates its use in vapor degreasing, as a solvent for anti-fingerprint coatings on electronic displays, as a cosmetic wetting agent, and for cold cleaning.
- Excellent Heat Transfer Ability: Provides effective cooling and insulation, making it suitable for use in liquid cooling media in semiconductor manufacturing processes such as dry etching, wafer testing, and packaging testing.
- Superior Environmental Performance: Features excellent chemical and thermal stability, nonflammability, and low toxicity, making it ideal for various industrial applications including specialty solvents and heat transfer applications.
This fluid’s strong wettability, environmental benefits, and compatibility with diverse materials highlight its versatility and effectiveness across multiple sectors.
