Its 76°C boiling point and excellent environmental, health and
safety profile make Novec fluid 7200 useful in applications like
heat transfer, cleaning, lubricant deposition and more, in a
diverse range of industries.
Application Guide
Listed below are key applications for 7200.
Its higher boiling point (76°C) and increased solvency
make Novec fluid 7200 an ideal cleaning solvent in
applications like vapor degreasing, wet cleaning and FOUP
cleaning. Its solvency allows its use in cleaning light-duty
soils - like particulates, fluorolubes, light oils and
fluoropolymers - and it can be paired with co-solvents to
clean heavier-duty soils.
7200 is non-ozone depleting, is not a volatile organic
compound (VOC) and is approved without restrictions
under the US EPA's Significant New Alternatives Program
(SNAP).
Low viscosity and low surface tension provide this fluid
with surface wetting and flow properties similar to 3M™
Performance Fluid PF-5060DL. Novec fluid 7200 has a
short atmospheric lifetime and low global warming potential
(GWP). Novec fluid 7200 can dissolve lubricants as well as
PFPE lubes.
In addition, Novec fluid 7200 offers certain unique process
advantages because its higher boiling point reduces
evaporative losses and its lower density means that it
takes less fluid to fill a lubing machine.
A wide liquid range (-138°C to 76°C) makes Novec fluid
7200 well-suited to thermal management applications in a
wide array of industries. In addition, 7200 fluid has a very
low global warming potential (GWP) and offers reduced
greenhouse gas emissions when compared to PFCs -
without sacrificing performance.
