What is fluorinert made of?
While Novec™ is based on hydrofluoroether (HFE) chemistry, Fluorinert™ Electronic Liquids are part of a family of fully-fluorinated compounds known as perfluorocarbons, or PFCs, and feature different chemical properties from the presence of fluorocarbons.
Is fluorinert toxic?
Fluorinert liquid FC-104 is non-irritating to the eyes and skin, and is practically non- toxic orally.
What is FC-72?
Fluorinert™ FC-72 is a thermally and chemically stable heat transfer fluid. It is ideal for many electronics applications, including quality and reliability testing.
What is Fluorinert used for?
Fluorinert is used in situations where air cannot carry away enough heat, or where airflow is so restricted that some sort of forced pumping is required.
What are fluorinated fluids?
Fluorinated lubricants are fluorocarbon ether polymers of polyhexafluoropropylene oxide. These fluids are designed to perform effectively between –130°F and 572°F whereas petroleum-based lubricants fail to perform –0.4°F and above 212°F.
What is 3M liquid?
3M Fluorinert Electronic Liquids are clear, odorless, non-flammable, non-oil-based, low in toxicity, non-corrosive, offer a wide temperature operating range and high thermal and chemical stability.
What is Novec fluid?
Novec™ 7100 engineered fluid is a proprietary methoxy-nonafluorobutane from 3M™. This hydrofluoroether is a clear, colorless and low-odor fluid intended to replace ozone-depleting substances (ODSs) and compounds with high global warming potential (GWP) in many applications. It has zero ozone depletion potential.
What is 3M Novec fluid?
3M™ Novec™ Engineered Fluids are non-flammable fluids used in a wide variety of industrial applications, including vapor degreasing, solvent cleaning of industrial parts, and thermal management of electronics.
What liquid is in liquid cooled PCs?
Liquid cooling is a highly effective method of removing excess heat, with the most common heat transfer fluid in desktop PCs being (distilled) water.
What liquid does immersion use?
What is immersion cooling? Immersion cooling is a method for cooling data center IT hardware by directly immersing the hardware in a non-conductive liquid such as 3M™ Fluorinert™ Electronic Liquids or 3M™ Novec™ Engineered Fluids.
Can you drink novec?
Under no circumstances should anyone ingest Novec 1230 fluid in a product demonstration. Novec 1230 fluid is safe for electronics when used in accordance with applicable precautionary information and directions for its intended use.
Can you breathe novec?
It is colorless, electrically non-conductive and has a low odor. It suppresses fire primarily by physical mechanisms with minimal effect on the available oxygen. This allows people to see and breathe, permitting them to leave the fire area safely.
