Process Usage of 3M Novec™ Fluids at LANL [Slides]
Overview: LANL is using several 3M Novec TM hydrofluoroether (HFE) fluids in production processes; Novec TM HFR fluids currently being used for LANL production processes are: HFE-71IPA, HFE-72DE, HFE-7100, and HFE-7500; With the exit of these fluids being sold commercially scheduled for 2025, LANL is researching what about these HFE fluids make them specifically effective for the processes they are used for in hopes of finding adequate replacement.
