IMPORTANT NOTICE: PHASE-OUT 3M™ PRODUCTS
3M™ announced in December 2022, that all Novec™ products will be phased out and not available anymore by the end of 2025. No worries, Inventec has a drop-in replacement for this product but we recommend to contact us as soon as possible in order to minimize supply interruptions.
If you want to know more about the 3M™ products phase-out, click on the this link.
OUR ALTERNATIVE(S):
- PROMOSOLV DR3 -> Same formulation
- PROMOSOLV NEO A1 -> Similar properties & applications + NO GWP & PFAS FREE
3M Novec 7100
3M Novec 7100 Engineered Fluid, methoxy-nonafluorobutane (C4F9OCH3), is a clear, colorless and low-odor fluid intended to replace ozone-depleting substances (ODSs) and compounds with high global warming potential (GWP) in many applications.
The high boiling point and low surface tension of Novec 7100 fluid make it ideal for use in vapor degreasing applications as a neat (pure), azeotropic component or co-solvent parts cleaner. In addition, its chemical and thermal stability, non-flammability and low toxicity make it useful for many other industrial and specialty solvent applications.

Benefits
PERFORMANCE
- Thermal and chemical stable in use (azeotropic formulation)
- The very low surface tension allows deep rinsing of parts with complex geometry
- Short rinsing and drying times
COST
- Continuous recycling in equipment for a long bath-life
- Can be returned for recycling and re-use
- The relative high boiling point reduces risk of solvent drag, so limiting consumption
HSE
- Very low toxicity (refer to the SDS)
- No Ozon Depletion Potential (ODP) & low Global Warming Potential (GDP)
- Non-flammable
