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-40 Replacement by Gluditec Coven FP40FC40 Electronic Grade Coating.
Description of 3M Novec FC-40 Replacement – Coven FP40FC40
COVEN FP40FC40 is a fluorinated liquid renowned for its excellent heat transfer capabilities, high insulation performance, and robust environmental protection. This versatile liquid is widely used in semiconductor manufacturing processes such as dry etching, wafer testing, and packaging testing. It is also suitable for various engineering applications, including leak detection, thermal shock testing, insulation testing, and high-temperature aging tests. Additionally, its high voltage impact resistance makes it ideal for cooling EMU traction transformers.
