3M™ Novec™ 7300 Engineered Fluid

3M™ Novec™ 7300 Engineered Fluid is a clear, colorless, odorless fluid that has utility in a wide variety of applications, including heat transfer, lubricant deposition, electronic testing and cleaning applications.

Novec 7300 fluid, a segregated hydrofluoroether, is non-flammable, thermally stable, non-ozone depleting, and has a very low global warming potential. Novec 7300 fluid does not contribute to the formation of photochemical smog. An exemption from the U.S. EPA definition of a VOC has been requested. The product is recommended for use as a replacement for perfluoropolyethers (PFPEs), perfluorocarbons (PFCs), hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs), and hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs). On this basis, Novec 7300 fluid provides a useful tool to help meet commitments for greenhouse gas emission reduction.

The boiling point, wide liquid range and low-temperature viscosity of Novec 7300 fluid make it ideal for cooling ion implanters, dry etchers, and CVD machines. Novec 7300 fluid is effective at mitigating the aggressiveness of solvents and is useful in inerting the flammability of blends. The chemical and thermal stability of Novec 7300 fluid lend to its use as a reaction media.
