Introduction
FluoSolv® Electronic Degreaser is a non-flammable, precision cleaning solvent blend engineered for safe and effective removal of oils, greases, flux residues, and other contaminants from sensitive electronic components. Developed as a direct replacement for 3M™ Novec™ Electronic Degreaser, it offers the same high performance, fast-drying characteristics, and compatibility with delicate substrates, while delivering an improved environmental and regulatory profile.
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
- Non-flammable formulation – enhanced worker and facility safety
- Excellent solvency power – rapid removal of hydrocarbon and silicone-based soils
- Fast-drying – reduces downtime and improves process efficiency
- Non-ozone depleting – environmentally responsible solution
- Low surface tension – penetrates tight spaces and under components
- Broad material compatibility – safe for most plastics, metals, and elastomers
- Low residue – ensures clean surfaces without deposits
Applications
FluoSolv® Electronic Degreaser is suited for:
- Cleaning of printed circuit boards (PCBs)
- Degreasing of electromechanical assemblies
- Removal of flux and light oils from precision instruments
- Cleaning in aerospace, medical device, and electronics manufacturing
Material Compatibility
FluoSolv® Electronic Degreaser is broadly compatible with most metals and engineering plastics. It demonstrates excellent compatibility with:
- Metals: Stainless Steel, Aluminum, Copper, brass
- Plastics: Nylon, HDPE, CDPE, C.E. Phenolic, POM, PP, PS, PTFE, and PVC. Not compatible with ABS, Polycarbonate, PMMA, or PS
- Elastomers: Low-plasticizer EPDM and certain silicone grades. Soft, highly plasticized elastomers may swell or soften; pre-testing is recommended for critical seals and gaskets.
Caution: As with all precision cleaners, testing on sensitive substrates (e.g., acrylics, polystyrene, natural rubber) is recommended prior to use.

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® Electronic Degreaser is available for purchase in three package sizes:
- 55-gal phenolic lined metal drums
- 5-gal phenolic lined pails
- 1-gal HDPE plastic bottles
