Novec Engineered Fluids cover the entire cleaning spectrum. ON SCREEN TEXT: Need better materials compatibility for heavy duty cleaning? ON SCREEN TEXT: CO-SOLVENTS Novec Fluids for Co-Solvent Cleaning Custom formulated to balance heavy duty cleaning performance with your materials compatibility needs Effectively Remove: *Lead-free flux residues, waxes, and buffing compounds MALE NARRATOR: Need better materials compatibility for heavy duty cleaning? Novec fluids can be used for co-solvent cleaning. Partner with your 3M Technical Service Contact to customize a formulation for your specific cleaning needs. Circuit boards are dunked in a cleaning solution. MALE NARRATOR: Novec Engineered Fluids tackle the most challenging soils, such as heavy oils and greases, waxes, and flux residues, making them ideal for vapor degreasing. They easily penetrate tight spaces on complex parts due to their low surface tension and low viscosity. This improves cleaning performance and reduces dragout losses, because the fluid easily drains off and is recycled back into the cleaning system. They don't become trapped in tight places and won't leave residue behind. ON SCREEN TEXT: The results: clean, dry parts that are ready to use. MALE NARRATOR: The results: clean, dry parts that are ready to use. ON SCREEN TEXT: Precision cleaning solutions for a number of critical industry applications. MALE NARRATOR: Novec Engineered Fluids offer precision cleaning solutions for a number of critical industry applications. Photos show various industries. ON SCREEN TEXT: Medical ON SCREEN TEXT: Aerospace ON SCREEN TEXT: Industrial ON SCREEN TEXT: Electronics From cleaning of orthopedic implants, hypodermic needles, scalpels, dental implants, and catheters in the medical industry, and oxygen service components, hydraulic systems, and avionics in aerospace, to cleaning of high speed bearings and complex precision mold parts in industrial applications, and removing oils, fluxes, and other residues that can impede connectivity from electronic components such as circuit boards. ON SCREEN TEXT: Worker Safety Trichloroethylene (TCE) n-Propyl Bromide (nPB) MALE NARRATOR: Worker safety is another key factor to consider when choosing a cleaning solvent. Increasing regulations and concerns surround common solvents like Trichloroethylene and n-Propyl Bromide. 3M Novec Fluids not only offer a safer, nonflammable alternative to these solvents--they are also very cost effective. ON SCREEN TEXT: Solvent Cleaning with Novec Fluids: 7 Minutes ON SCREEN TEXT: Water-Based Cleaning: 16 Minutes ON SCREEN TEXT: Novec Fluid vs. Water-Based Cleaning Shorter cycle times Reduced fluid volume Smaller equipment footprint ON SCREEN TEXT: Solvent Cleaning with Novec Fluids: 1-2 liters /week ON SCREEN TEXT: Water-Based Cleaning: 600-6000 gallons/ week ON SCREEN TEXT: Solvent Cleaning with Novec Fluids: Smaller Footprint ON SCREEN TEXT: Water-Based Cleaning: Large Footprint ON SCREEN TEXT: Novec Fluid vs. Water-Based Cleaning Conserve water Eliminate waste water Lower energy and water consumption MALE NARRATOR: Compared to water-based cleaning, you can save time and money in your precision cleaning process by achieving shorter cycle times, reducing fluid volume, and equipment footprint, conserving water, eliminating waste disposal costs, and lowering energy consumption. ON SCREEN TEXT: Is time running out for HFCs? Recent trends show a shift away from non-sustainable technologies like HFCs A timeline appears. An entry under 2015 becomes highlighted. ON SCREEN TEXT: EU to implement global HFC phase down under F-Gas II regulations MALE NARRATOR: Is time running out for HFCs? Environmental regulations that banned HCFCs such as HCFC 225 due to their Ozone depletion characteristics are now targeting non-sustainable hydrofluorocarbons, HFCs, due to their high global warming potential. Unlike high global warming HFCs, Novec Engineered Fluids are not targeted for phase down or phase out under European F-Gas regulations due to their low global warning potential. This is important because Europe is a leader in setting precedents for global environmental regulations. An entry above 2014 becomes highlighted. ON SCREEN TEXT: U.S. EPA proposes HFC status change MALE NARRATOR: One recent example is that the U.S. EPA is now reevaluating the status of HFCs under SNAP, specifically whether or not to rescind approval of HFCs for certain applications. Novec fluids are not targeted for phase down or phase out under SNAP. Glowing lines arc across the globe. MALE NARRATOR: We understand your process is complex. And you may still have questions. That's why Novec fluids come with the unrivaled support of global technical experts to help you with anything from product selection and testing to process implementation.
