AK225 HCFC-225 Phase Out and Replacement with 3M Novec HFE Engineered Fluids
Why 3M™ HFE Novec™ Engineered Fluid is the best solvent:A brief history of cleaning solvents CFC’s In the 1980’s and prior, Freon TF (CFC-113) or Freon TMS (TF + 5.7% methanol) was the workhorse solvent for precision cleaning and vapor degreasing. It offered the following advantages: High purity Low “non-volatile residue” (what is left behind […]
Why Use a Parts Cleaning Solvent?
Precision Cleaning Chemistries Current chemistry trends call for the use of parts cleaning solvents with vapor degreasers for precision cleaning applications. The main reason to use a parts cleaning solvent is that “like dissolves like.” A non-polar solvent best dissolves a non-polar soil such as oil, grease and RMA flux. While it is true that […]
