Introduction
FluoSolv® 649 is a clear, colorless, low-odor, non-flammable heat transfer fluid formulated to match 3M™ Novec™ 649 in every functional and environmental parameter. It is primarily composed of dodecafluoro-2-methylpentan-3-one, offering superior thermal, dielectric, and environmental performance with a boiling point of 49 °C. Ideal for cooling systems requiring both safety and sustainability.
Key Features & Benefits
- Ultra-low Global Warming Potential (GWP = 1) and zero Ozone Depletion Potential (ODP = 0)
- Exceptional safety margin: 8‑hour TWA exposure guideline of 150 ppm with inhalation LC₅₀ well above 100,000 ppm
- Excellent thermal & dielectric performance in compact heat transfer systems (e.g., electronics, power systems)
- Minimal environmental persistence: atmospheric lifetime of ~5 days uponphotolysis
Applications
FluoSolv® 649 is suited for:
- Dual-phase and single-phase immersion cooling of electronics and power devices
- Heat transfer in aerospace, data centers, generators, and solar technologies
- Transformer and inverter cooling, replacing high-GWP gases like SF₆
Material Compatibility
FluoSolv® 649 exhibits excellent compatibility with common engineering materials, requiring no special piping or handling systems:
- Metals: Safe with stainless steel, Aluminum, Copper, Nickel
- Plastics: always test for plastic compatibility
- Designed for direct-contact coolingapplications in sensitive electronics without degradation or interaction

Free Solvent Sample and Vapor Degreaser for Testing
NuGenTec offers a small loaner vapor degreaser and a loaner 5-gallon pail to assist with your testing. The loaner vapor degreaser plugs into a standard wall outlet and fits on a standard pallet. This allows you to test our FluoSolv® solvent in your own controlled environment without immediately changing the solvent in your current equipment.
FluoSolv® 649 is available for purchase in three package sizes:
- 55-gal phenolic lined metal drums
- 5-gal phenolic lined pails
- 1-gal HDPE plastic bottles
