TMC-40E Electronic Liquid | Heat Transfer Fluid

Description

TMC-40E offers similar chemistry and physical properties as 3M FC-40.

TMC-40E Electronic Liquid is a non-conducting, thermally and chemically stable fluid designed for single-phase heat-transfer applications, particularly in the electronics and semiconductor industries.

It is commonly used in semiconductor manufacturing environments including testers, CVD, and TFT manufacturing.

TMC-40E is a clear, colorless, non-conductive, non-flammable and residue-free liquid that maintains stable performance during heat transfer operations.

The fluid operates across a wide liquid temperature range from −55 °C to 158 °C, making it suitable for various electronic heat transfer applications.

Because TMC-40E has a narrow boiling range, the composition changes very little over time. This helps maintain consistent transport properties and reduces fluid loss during operation.

Applications

TMC-40E Electronic Liquid is used in the following applications:

• Dielectric Bath
• Electronic Testing
• Gross Leak Testing
• Heat Transfer
• Semiconductor Cooling
• Thermal Shock Testing

It is also suitable for semiconductor industry equipment including:

• Etchers
• Ion Implanters
• Testers
• CVD systems
• TFT manufacturing systems
