Description of 3M Novec 72DA Replacement – Coven FP2172DA
COVEN FP2172DA is an azeotrope blend with a consistent composition, suitable for medium- to heavy-duty degreasing and defluxing applications. Designed to replace CFCs, HCFCs, HFCs, nPB, and chlorinated solvents, it is ideal for a variety of precision cleaning tasks, especially in electronics. For immersion and vapor degreasing, COVEN FP2172DA is an excellent choice due to its high solvency, low surface tension, nonflammability, and stability. The isopropanol content enhances the removal of ionic contaminants.
