3M Novec 7100 vs 3M Novec 7200
Methoxy vs ethoxy hydrofluoroether – two closely related 3M cleaning fluids.
// Key differences
- Boiling point: ~61°C (7100) vs ~76°C (7200).
- 7200 evaporates slower and offers slightly higher solvency.
- Both are being phased out with 3M's PFAS exit.
Choose 3M Novec 7100 for:
Fast drying, heat-sensitive parts.
Choose 3M Novec 7200 for:
Longer wetting time, vapour degreasing at higher temperature.
