Key Physical Properties
- Boiling point: 61°C, significantly higher than Novec 7000 (34°C), with a moderate evaporation rate.
- Freezing point: -135°C. Surface tension: 13.6 dynes/cm, providing excellent penetration and cleaning even the smallest crevices.
- Dielectric strength: >25 kV (0.1-inch gap), excellent insulation, safe for live cleaning.
- Flash point: None (non-flammable).
- Environmental/Safety: Ozone depletion potential (ODP) of 0, Global warming potential (GWP) of 320, extremely low toxicity (8-hour average exposure limit of 750 ppm).
Main Application Scenarios
- Electronics and Precision Cleaning: Primarily used for vapor degreasing and ultrasonic cleaning, it efficiently removes light oil, particles, flux, and fluoropolymers, commonly used in aerospace and high-end electronic assembly.
- Lubricant Carrier: Serves as a diluent for fluorinated or silicon-based lubricants, leaving no residue after evaporation.
- Single-phase/Two-phase Heat Transfer Fluids: Due to their more moderate boiling point, they are commonly used in immersion cooling systems for semiconductor manufacturing equipment and data centers.
- Special Scientific Applications: Used for forensic fingerprint identification (latent fingerprint development), biological specimen preservation, and historical document protection.
