Phase-out of 3M? Novec?

Phase-out of 3M? Novec?

In December 2022, 3M™ announced their plans to stop producing per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in its product line. Final order dates have now been set for March 31st 2025, and the supply of these products will end on December 31st 2025.

This phase-out affects the following 3M™ product lines:

3M™ Novec™ Engineered Fluids 3M™ Fluorinert™ Electronic Liquids

With 3M™ discontinuing these products, many companies are now evaluating alternatives to find suitable replacements. It's essential to consider key factors to ensure the replacement not only meets your immediate requirements but also supports long-term success.

Are you affected by the phase-out of 3M™ Novec™ engineered fluids?

At EnviroTech Europe we can offer drop-in replacements for all 3M™ Novec™ cleaning and degreasing products. We understand the uniqueness of every precision cleaning application and provide free on-site visits, technical support and cleaning trials when required. We can provide a full assessment of your current precision cleaning process to put in a plan to help ensure a seamless transition. We have already successfully transitioned many Novec™ users globally to our ProSolv® Direct Replacements range.

Future-proof your solvent cleaning applications with PFAS-Free chemistries

EnviroTech Europe Ltd also supply future-proof technologies like ProSolv®5408e PFAS-Free high performance vapour degreasing solvent - offering next-generation, multi-purpose solvent cleaning with zero ODP (Ozone Depletion Potential) and near zero GWP (Global Warming Potential), tested to a number of industry standards including ASTM D3828, ASTM E918, Stock Loss ARP1755B and ASTM F945-1.

Act now before 3M™ Novec™ grades become unavailable
