Solvay Galden HT 70 - An Alternative to 3M Novec 7100
3M's announcement
3M recently announced plans to discontinue its popular line of Novec™ Engineered Fluids by 2025, which has already created an immediate supply problem for manufacturers with solvent-cleaning needs. As a result, companies are scrambling to identify the best alternative solution for the short and long term. Fortunately, Hicotech offers many cleaners for replacing 3M Novec solvents leading brands like: Solvay (Syensqo)
What is 3M Novec 7100?
3M™ Novec™ 7100 Engineered Fluid is a proprietary hydrofluoroether (HFE) with unique properties that make it ideal for a broad range of applications and industries, thermal management in semiconductor fabrication, to immersion cooling in data centers, to solvent cleaning and aerosol formulations. It's non-flammable, has low toxicity, and has a low global warming potential and zero ozone depletion potential, in addition to powerful thermal heat transfer and solvent cleaning performance.
Solvay Galden HT 70: A Substitute for 3M Novec 7100
Galden HT-70 is a line of heat transfer fluids within Syensqo's Galden HT range. This fluid's distinguishing feature is its ability to operate at extremely low temperatures, making it ideal for cold environments, cooling systems, and applications requiring efficient heat transfer at low temperatures and pressures.
