About FluoSolv® 5408
FluoSolv® 5408 is qualified to the Boeing BAC5408 specification for vapor degreasing and to SAFRAN DEGREASING SPEC PR-1500 Issue C specification for degreasing. It is currently pending Boeing PS12020 specification for vapor degreasing.
FluoSolv® 5408 is a proprietary blend of nonflammable fluorinated solvents and trans-1,2-dichloroethylene (t-DCE), which offers a nonflammable, non-PFAS solution with low Global Warming Potential (GWP) and zero Ozone Depleting Potential (ODP). It is designed for precision vapor degreasing or cold cleaning of heavy-duty oils, greases, lubricants, flux residues, particulates, and other soils from precision components.
FluoSolv® 5408 is designed to provide excellent precision cleaning performance while remaining compatible with a broad range of metals, plastics, and elastomers, making it a highly versatile solution able to meet almost any cleaning need.
FluoSolv® 5408 is a drop-in replacement for many 3M Novec chemistries. Contact our team of technical experts for more information regarding your specific application needs.
