3M™ NOVEC™ 73DE
Mechanical degreasing in vapor phase and immersion with ultrasound
Description
3M™ NOVEC™ 73DE was formulated by 3M primarily for vapor phase degreasing or immersion cleaning.
3M™ NOVEC™ 73DE effectively replaces n-propyl bromide (nPB or 1-bromopropane), trichloroethylene (TCE), ozone-damaging hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs), such as HCFC-225 (Asahiklin AK-225) and HCFC-141b, and high global warming potential (GWP) hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) for a wide range of cleaning applications.
Vapor degreasing with 3M™ NOVEC™ 73DE fluid helps save time compared to water-based processes, offering faster cycle times, lower energy consumption, and improved cleaning of parts with complex geometries.
Features:
- Useful in vapor-phase degreasers and for immersion cleaning
- Excellent performance with high solvency and low surface tension
- Effective in cleaning heavy greases, oils, waxes, silicones and non-polar flux residues
- Easy to maintain and use in a vapor phase system with stable bath composition during prolonged use
- Non-flammable and low toxicity for excellent safety profile
- Low environmental impact: no GWP, no ODP and low VOC
- Economical replacement of nPB, TCE, HCFCs
- Faster cycle times, lower energy consumption, and better parts cleaning than dispersion cleaning
- Effective for lubricant deposition applications where higher solvency is desired.
Application:
- Cleaning solvent for vapor phase degreasing, immersion cleaning and spray cleaning
- Solvent for heavy greases, oils, waxes, silicones and nonpolar flux residues
- Lubricant deposition applications where higher solvency is desired.
Packaging:
