It has essentially constant vapour and liquid composition at its boiling point. Excellent replacement for IPA where non-flammability is important.

About Novec™ 71IPA Engineered Fluid

3M™ Novec™ 71IPA Engineered Fluid is a hydrofluoroether, methoxy-nonafluorobutane (C4F9OCH3), in an azeotrope-like formulation with isopropanol. 

This fluid is ideal for light-duty cleaning and degreasing tasks, and is intended to replace ozone-depleting materials such as CFC-113, HCFC-14lb and 1,1,1-trichloroethane in many applications. It has zero ozone depletion potential and other favourable environmental properties. Novec 71IPA fluid has a low toxicological profile, with a time-weighted average exposure guideline of 750 ppm for the 3M™ Novec™ 7100 Engineered Fluid component (eight hour average). 

The increased polar soil solvency and low surface tension, nonflammability and constant composition during boiling (boiling point of 54.8°C ) of Novec 71IPA fluid make it ideal for precision and specialty cleaning and rinsing for removal of particulate, fingerprints and light soils from metal, plastic and glass parts.

Applications

  • Precision cleaning, rinsing and drying agent.
  • Light-duty cleaning of oils, greases, waxes, fingerprints. 
  • Use in combination with co-solvents for “no-clean flux” residue removal.

Materials Compatibility

Testing of 3M™ Novec™ 71IPA Engineered Fluid demonstrates compatibility with a wide range of metals, plastics and elastomers, similar to the performance of perfluorinated liquids. Good compatibility with particularly sensitive plastics such as polycarbonate and PMMA indicates utility in cleaning of assemblies containing many composite materials. As with most fluorinated liquids, Novec 71IPA fluid will absorb into fluorinated plastics and elastomers over longer exposures.

Safety and Handling

Before using this product, please read the current product Material Data Safety Sheet (available through 3M sales or technical service representative) and the precautionary statement on the product package. Follow all applicable precautions and directions.

Novec 71IPA fluid is characterized as having no closed cup flash point, or open cup flash point and no sustained burning per ASTM D4206-86 (<1 second) and is safe to use under normal operating conditions. The product has flame limits of 4.0% to 16.7% (by volume), similar to materials such as HCFC-141b and 1,1,1-TCA which have been used safely in this application for many years.

This fluid is highly resistant to thermal breakdown and hydrolysis in storage and during use. A flammable mixture can form during co-solvent boil down in a vapor degreaser. Products of thermal decomposition may cause irritation. Recovery of Novec 71IPA fluid from a co-solvent cleaning process by boil down should only be conducted in equipment designed and approved for handling flammable mixtures. Use of a desiccant is recommended in the water separator. Detailed handling procedures are provided in the Material Safety Data Sheet. Consult your 3M representative for additional information on the proper recovery and disposal of Novec 71IPA fluid.
