3M Novec 71IPA Engineered Fluid is a low toxicity fluid with increased polar soil solvency and surface tension making it ideal for precision and specialty cleaning and rinsing for removal of particulate, fingerprints and light soils from plastic, metal and glass parts.

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

3M Novec 71IPA Engineered 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 favorable environmental properties (see Table 2). 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, low surface tension, nonflammability and constant composition during boiling of 3M Novec 71IPA Engineered 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.

Product Overview
1. 3M Novec 71IPA Engineered Fluid is a very light solvent for fine particulate and light oil removal in precision-cleaning applications.

2. 3M Novec 71IPA Engineered Fluid evaporates residue free and provides ultimate performance with very low toxicity. (b.p. 61C)

3. 3M Novec 71IPA is a proprietary azeotropic formulation of the methoxynonafluorobutane (C4F9OCH3) and isopropanol, clear, colourless and with a slight odour, designed to replace the existing solvents having an ODP and to be used for the cleaning operations with ultrasonics. Its high boiling point and its very low surface tension.

4. 3M Novec 71IPA fluid some outstanding degreasing characteristics when used neat or with a co-solvent into a vapour degreaser.
