Its 76 deg C boiling point and excellent environmental, health and safety profile make Novec fluid HFE-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 HFE-7200. Documents specific to the
application are listed to the right.
Cleaning
Fluids
Its higher boiling point (76°C) and increased solvency
make Novec fluid HFE-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.
HFE-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).
Deposition
Solvents
Low viscosity and low surface tension provide this fluid with
surface wetting and flow properties similar to 3M™ Performance
Fluid PF-5060DL. Novec fluid HFE-7200 has
a short atmospheric lifetime and low global warming potential
(GWP). Novec fluid HFE-7200 can dissolve lubricants as
well as PFPE lubes.
In addition,
Novec fluid HFE-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.
Heat Transfer Fluids
A wide liquid range
(-138°C to 76°C) makes Novec fluid
HFE-7200 well-suited to thermal management
applications in a wide array of industries. In addition,
HFE-7200 fluid has a very low global warming potential
(GWP) and offers reduced greenhouse gas emissions when compared to
PFCs - without sacrificing performance.
