BestSolv® Engineered Fluids - Articles

What Are Hydrofluoroether (HFE) Fluids?

Hydrofluoroether (HFE) Fluids

Hydrofluoroether (HFE) fluids are specialty fluorinated liquids used in precision cleaning, vapor degreasing, heat transfer, electronics, carrier-fluid applications, and other industrial processes where properties such as non-flammability, low surface tension, dielectric performance, and material compatibility can be important. You may also see them described as HFE solvents, hydrofluoroether solvents, HFE solutions, or simply HFE fluids. […]

PFAS-Free Cleaning Solvents for Vapor Degreasing Applications

vapor degreaser

PFAS regulations, customer requirements, sustainability initiatives, and supply-chain changes are leading manufacturers to review the chemicals used in their production processes. For companies operating vapor degreasers, this may include evaluating whether a PFAS-free cleaning solvent can meet both current cleaning requirements and longer-term business needs. Choosing a PFAS-free solvent is not simply a matter of […]

BestSolv® Fluids as Coolants for Specialized Machinery and Chiller Systems

chiller system applications

Specialized chiller systems are used when equipment, electronics, or industrial processes need precise temperature control. In these systems, the selection of coolant fluids for chillers is crucial, as the coolant is not just a fluid that moves heat. It becomes part of the system’s performance, safety, and reliability. Standard coolants such as water, glycol, or […]

Carrier Fluids for Precision Deposition, Wetting, and Material Transport

carrier fluid silicone

Carrier fluids are used in applications where a lubricant, silicone, coating, additive, or active chemistry must be delivered evenly across a surface. Their role is to temporarily carry, thin, or transport another material so it can spread, penetrate, or deposit more effectively before the carrier evaporates. Best Technology offers BestSolv® Engineered Fluids for carrier fluid […]

Gross Leak Testing for Hermetic Components and Critical Assemblies

Gross Leak Testing electronics

Gross leak testing is a critical step in verifying the integrity of sealed components and assemblies used in high-reliability applications. In aerospace, defense, medical device, automotive, electronics, and other precision manufacturing environments, even a small seal failure can lead to moisture ingress, fluid intrusion, corrosion, contamination, pressure loss, or premature system failure. Using fluorocarbon or […]

Magnesium Cover Gas, Re-Engineered for Today

magnesium cover gas for magnesium casting operations

Why Leading Casters Are Moving to BestSolv® Zulu MAG Magnesium casting requires dependable melt protection. For years, manufacturers had to rely on sulfur hexafluoride (SF₆) and sulfur dioxide (SO₂), despite their significant environmental impact and regulatory pressure. BestSolv® Zulu MAG (FK-5-1-12) is the way forward. Chemically identical to the discontinued 3M™ Novec™ 612, it delivers […]

Oxygen System and Oxygen Gauge Cleaning Solutions

oxygen valve cleaning

Oxygen system cleaning and oxygen gauge cleaning are often discussed together, but they serve different purposes within oxygen-compatible processes. This page focuses on oxygen system cleaning as it applies to high-pressure oxygen environments, while also addressing oxygen gauge cleaning and oxygen valve cleaning as part of precision cleaning for oxygen delivery systems. The goal is […]

BestSolv® HFO / HCFO Solvents for Precision Cleaning

PFAS free HFO HCFO liquid

Understanding the Next Generation of BestSolv® Cleaning Fluids Across industries—from aerospace to medical devices—manufacturers depend on precision cleaning solvents to ensure the reliability and performance of critical parts. As cleaning standards and environmental expectations evolve, so does solvent technology. This shift has accelerated demand for PFAS-free cleaning solutions that maintain performance while meeting modern environmental […]

Thermal Management / Heat Transfer with BestSolv® Engineered Fluids

3M Fluorinert Electronic Liquid for immersion cooling

BestSolv® Engineered Fluids for Heat Transfer and Thermal Management For manufacturers of semiconductors, maintaining stable process temperatures is critical to product yield and quality. As legacy electronic liquids are phased out, many engineers are actively evaluating a proven Fluorinert alternative that delivers equivalent dielectric performance and thermal stability. In data centers, removing excess heat through […]

Solvent Cleaning with BestSolv® Engineered Fluids

Degreasing bearings in a vapor degreaser

BestSolv® for Solvent Cleaning and Vapor Degreasing BestSolv® Engineered Fluids are high-performance solvents designed for precision cleaning and vapor degreasing in demanding applications. Drawing on decades of expertise in cleaning chemistries and process equipment, Best Technology developed BestSolv® to provide safe, effective, and reliable solvent solutions for consistent cleaning results. BestSolv® Engineered Fluids are non-flammable, […]
