3M™ Performance Fluids
3M™ Performance Fluids are perfluorocarbon liquids that have unique chemical and physical characteristics.
They are ideally suited for:
- Direct contact cooling
- Removing particulates from precision manufactured components
- Thermal shock testing electronic components
- Safe, effective, clean flame inserting agents
Their main physical properties, which are inherent to all perfluorocarbons, include:
- Zero-ozone depletion potential (ODP)
- Non-volatile organic compound (VOC)
- Non-flammable
- Chemical inertness, low solvency
- Excellent material compatibility
- Thermal stability
- Long shelf life
- Long heat of vaporisation, low surface tension, and low viscosity
- High density
- Electrically non-conductive
- Non-corrosive
- Low toxicity
- Clear, colourless and odourless
