Introduction
FluoSolv® 71D90 is an azeotrope-like blend of 90% trans-1,2-dichloroethylene (t-DCE) and 10% hydrofluoroether, formulated as a precise replacement for 3M™ Novec™ 71D90. This engineered fluid offers exceptional solvency for aerosol cleaning applications and is highly effective in removing stubborn soils. However, it is not recommended for vapor degreasing or cold cleaning baths, as evaporation can alter blend composition, potentially introducing flammability risks.
Applications
- Formulation of aerosol cleaners intended for precision cleaning tasks - particularly where HCFC-141b is being displaced.
- Not suitable for vapor or immersion cleaning systems due to evolving blend composition upon evaporation.
Key Features & Benefits
- Outstanding solvency - ideal for formulating high-performance aerosol cleaners.
- Non-flammable (no closed-cup flash point) under typical conditions.
- Environmental excellence: Zero ozone depletion (ODP = 0) and extremely low global warming potential (GWP ≈ 32).
- Balanced exposure guidance: t-DCE component - 200 ppm (8-hour TWA); Novec 7100 component - 750 ppm.
- EPA SNAP-approved - all components listed as “acceptable” alternatives under the U.S. EPA’s SNAP program.
Material Compatibility
Metals: Aluminum, Copper, Stainless Steel, Titanium, Tungsten
