FC-43=09 3M=99 Fluorinert=99 Electronic Liquid FC-43 A unique combination of properties makes Fluorinert liquid FC-43 ideal for many electronics applications, including heat transfer, vapor phase reflow soldering, and many electronic quality and reliability tests. FC-70 3M=99 Fluorinert=99 Electronic Liquid FC-70 A unique combination of properties and a high boiling point (215 deg C) makes this liquid ideal for many electronics applications, including high temperature heat transfer, vapor phase reflow soldering and many electronic quality and reliability tests. FC-72 3M=99 Fluorinert=99 Electronic Liquid FC-72 Thermally and chemically stable, Fluorinert liquid FC-72 is an ideal choice for low temperature heat transfer applications. Its properties also make it useful in selected electronic testing applications. FC-770 3M=99 Fluorinert=99 Electronic Liquid FC-770 The wide liquid range of Fluorinert liquid FC-770 (-127 =B0C to 95 =B0C) allows its use in heat transfer applications in the semiconductor industry, and also makes it useful in electronics testing. HFE-71DA 3M=99 Novec=99 Engineered Fluid HFE-71DA Novec fluid HFE-71DA is a true azeotrope, with constant vapor and liquid composition at its boiling point. It is intended to replace ozone-depleting materials in many applications as well as certain aqueous cleaning processes. HFE-71DE 3M=99 Novec=99 Engineered Fluid HFE-71DE A true azeotrope, Novec fluid HFE-71DE has constant liquid and vapor composition at its boiling point. It is intended to replace ozone-depleting materials chlorinated and brominated solvents in medium-duty cleaning and degreasing applications. HFE-71IPA 3M=99 Novec=99 Engineered Fluid HFE-71IPA This fluid is ideal for light cleaning and degreasing tasks. A true azeotrope, HFE-71IPA has essentially constant vapor and liquid composition at its boiling point. HFE-7100 3M=99 Novec=99 Engineered Fluid HFE-7100 Novec fluid HFE-7100 is used in a diverse range of industries. Its convenient boiling point and excellent environmental, health and safety profile make it useful in applications like heat transfer, cleaning, lubricant deposition and more. HFE-7200 3M=99 Novec=99 Engineered Fluid HFE-7200 Its 76 deg C boiling point and excellent environmental, health and safety profile make Novec fluid HFE-7200 useful in applications like heat transfer, cleaning, lubricant deposition and more, in a diverse range of industries. HFE-7500 3M=99 Novec=99 Engineered Fluid HFE-7500 High performance Novec fluid HFE-7500 shares many of the inertness and dielectric properties of perfluorinated fluids, and offers a superior environmental profile. It is finding use in heat transfer and cleaning applications. --=20 http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist .
