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 FC-3283 Replacement by Gluditec Coven FP403283 effective heat transfer fluid.
Description of 3M Novec FC-3283 Replacement – Coven FP403283
COVEN FP403283 is a transparent, colorless, heat-resistant liquid with full fluorination, ideal for various single-phase heat transfer tasks, particularly in semiconductor manufacturing. With an operational temperature range from -50°C to 128°C, this fluid is well-suited for applications such as etchers, ion implanters, and testers. Its single-compound nature ensures composition stability over time, preventing fluid loss and guaranteeing consistent performance. is a transparent, colorless, heat-resistant liquid with full fluorination, ideal for various single-phase heat transfer tasks, particularly in semiconductor manufacturing.
