Introduction
FluoSolv® 71DE is an azeotropic blend of a hydrofluoroether, Methyl Nonafluorobutyl Ether, in an azeotrope formulation with trans-1,2-dichloroethylene (t-DCE) and ethanol. By definition, this mixture is consistent at its boiling point.
FluoSolv® 71DE has been created for degreasing and defluxing with added benefits of replacing many environmentally harmful blends that have high global warming potentials. This blend has zero ozone depleting potential.
The US Environmental Protection Agency has labeled all components as without restrictions.
Applications
NuGenTec FluoSolv® 71DE is recommended in arenas tending to cleaning, rinsing, drying, and coating. Further:
- Cleaning of oils, greases, waxes, handling oils, and solder flux residue.
- Precision coating of silicones and other lubricants.
Material Compatibility
FluoSolv® 71DE is compatible with all metals, ceramic and other non-conducting materials. Most elastomeric materials are compatible except fluoroelastomers such as Viton & Kalrez which tend to swell. It is recommended that all materials be tested prior to use.

Storage, Packaging & Availability
FluoSolv® 71DE is thermally & chemically a very stable solvent. It is non-reactive, has low water solubility and will not oxidize or degrade when exposed to air or sunlight. Common industrial practice should be implemented for storage; keep away from human food source and extreme temperature conditions. Freezing temperatures will cause the drums to compress and hot conditions will balloon the drum. The product in any case is perfectly usable.
