Novec 73DE fluid is a high performing, cost-effective replacement for n-propyl bromide (nPB or 1-bromopropane), trichloroethylene (TCE), ozone-depleting hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs) like HCFC-225 (Asahiklin AK-225) and HCFC-141b, and high global warming potential (GWP) hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) for a wide range of cleaning applications.

Features: 

• Effective in cleaning heavy greases, oils, waxes, silicones, and non-polar flux residues
• Easy use in a vapor degreaser with stable bath composition
• Non-flammable with an excellent safety profile
• Excellent performance with high solvency and low surface tension
• Faster cycle times, lower energy usage, and improved cleaning of parts compared to aqueous cleaning
• Environmentally sustainable with low global warming potential (GWP) and zero ozone depletion potential (ODP)
• Effective for lubricant deposition applications where increased solvency is desired
• Cost-effective replacement for nPB, TCE, ozone-depleting HCFCs and high GWP HFCs

Applications: 

3M Novec Cleaning Solvent can be used in a variety of applications including:

• Cleaning solvent for vapor degreasing
• immersion cleaning and spray cleaning
• Solvent cleaner for heavy greases, oils, waxes
• silicones and non-polar flux residues
• Lubricant deposition applications where increased solvency is desired
