TMC-7200 Engineered Fluid

Econtrol Devices, an authorized distributor of TMC Industries products, offers TMC-7200 Engineered Fluid, a fluorinated engineered fluid designed for industrial cleaning, vapor degreasing, and heat transfer applications.

TMC-7200 is a miscible, drop-in replacement for 3M™ Novec™ 7200. It is a hydrofluoroether (HFE) solvent containing both structural isomers and is formulated for use in applications requiring low surface tension, low viscosity, and thermal and chemical stability.

The fluid is suitable for vapor degreasing, cold cleaning, specialty solvent applications, and heat transfer processes. According to TMC Industries, its boiling point is higher than that of most CFCs, HCFCs, and HFCs, helping reduce evaporative losses.
