Sustainable solvent technology for today’s emerging needs

Growing public concern about the effects of chemicals on human health, safety and the environment have led to restrictions on the use of many kinds of process solvents used by the medical device industry.

In evaluating alternatives, users of these materials must balance the need for cost-effective performance with that of a sustainable, long-term solution – a solution that will still be viable for many years to come.

3M™ Novec™ Engineered Fluids were designed to help you achieve that balance. Based on 3M’s proprietary segregated hydrofluoroether (HFE) chemistry, Novec fluids combine proven performance with an outstanding environmental and safety profile:

· Zero ozone depletion potential

· Low global warming potential

· Non-flammable

· Low in toxicity
