Introduction

FluoSolv® 5408 Aerosol conforms to the Boeing BAC5408 specification for vapor degreasing. It has the same active ingredients of FluoSolv® 5408 in convenient aerosol form. It is a proprietary blend of nonflammable fluorinated solvents (HFO’s) and trans-1,2-dichloroethylene (t-DCE). FluoSolv® 5408 offers a NON-PFAS solution to precision degreasing of heavy duty grease and lubricants and also cold cleaning.

FluoSolv® 5408 Aerosol is a drop-in replacement for many 3M Novec Aerosols.

FluoSolv® 5408 Aerosol solvent leverages the chemical solvency of the fluid as well as its physical properties such as high density, low surface tension and low viscosity for optimal performance. Efficient cleaning requires the solvent to flow extremely close to the surface of the part to dissolve the contaminant or physically lift insoluble particulate contaminants away from the surface to be cleaned.

Fluosolv® 5408 Aerosol does not contain any PFAS per the "EPA Reporting and Recordkeeping Requirements for Perfluoroalkyl and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances", final rule dated September 28, 2023.

User Benefits

NuGenTec’s FluoSolv® 5408 Aerosol is ideally balanced to deliver performance, worker safety and desirable environmental properties while offering a solution that is better for the environment than traditional chemistries.

Conforms to Boeing BAC5408
Drop-in replacement for 3M Novec aerosol products
Low global warming potential (GWP)
Low toxicity; high allowable exposure limit (AEL);
Non-Flammable; Non-Hazardous
Chemically stable; will not go acid

Material Compatibility

FluoSolv® 5408 Aerosol conforms to everything on the Boeing BAC 5408 specification. Also it is compatible with all metals, ceramic and other non-conducting materials. Most elastomeric materials are compatible. It is recommended that all materials be tested prior to use.

Required	Compatible	Additional Testing
Metals	Aluminum, Copper, S/S Titanium, Brass, Tungsten	-
Elastomers	Neoprene, Butyl Rubber, EPDM, Kynar (PVDF)	Viton A & B, Kalrez**
Plastics	Acrylic, HDPE, PTFE, Nylon, PVC, Epoxy, Phenolic, ABS, Polycarbonate	-

**Viton & Kalrez are fluoroelastomers that tend to swell when exposed to fluorinated fluids; dimensional changes are reversible
*Acrylics & Polycarbonates in stressed conditions are more susceptible to solvent attack at elevated temperatures.

Worker Safety

Data from acute toxicity studies of various ingredients has demonstrated that FluoSolv® 5408 Aerosol blend has low toxicity. It has a calculated AEL (Acceptable Exposure Limit) of 200 ppm based on its individual components. None of the ingredients in FluoSolv® 5408 Aerosol have any chronic or acute toxicity associated with them which makes it a worker friendly solvent.

Please refer to the SDS for information on detailed exposure limits and toxicity-related data.

NuGenTec’s FluoSolv® 5408 Aerosol is not classified as a flammable liquid per established definitions by NFPA or DOT. Flash point data and vapor flammability limits in air are shown in Table below .
