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, 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 7300 Replacement by Gluditec Coven FP217300.
Description of 3M Novec 7300 Replacement – Coven FP217300
As science and technology advance, electronic devices are becoming increasingly integrated, making their cleanliness crucial for proper functionality. Historically, the electronics sector relied on CFCs for cleaning, but these substances are being phased out due to their harmful effects on the ozone layer and contribution to global warming. Their temporary replacement, HCFCs, also poses problems because of its chlorine content. In light of these challenges, Gluditec has introduced a series of hydrofluoroether solvents. Distinct from HCFCs and other interim solutions, the COVEN 217300 solvent stands out as a sustainable choice thanks to its superior eco-friendly properties. This development addresses the demand for precision cleaning solutions that are effective, safe, and compliant with environmental standards.
