Performance Fluids
3M Performance Fluids are perfluorocarbon liquids that have unique chemical and physical characteristics.
The main physical properties 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 vaporization, low surface tension, and low viscosity
- High density
- Electrically non-conductive
- Non-corrosive
- Low toxicity
- Clear, colourless, and odourless
Applications:
- Ideally suited for direct contact cooling
- Excellent cleaning agents for removing particulates from precision manufactured components
- Ideal for thermal shock testing electronic components
- Safe and effective as clean flame inerting agents
