Novec

Explore our cleaning solvent sample and trial program

Find the right cleaning solution for your business

Performance, compatibility, safety and sustainability all matter in your choice of a cleaning solution. In order to confidently select the right Novec fluid to clean your parts, you may ask:

Can Novec fluids be a drop-in replacement in my existing vapor degreasing process?

Will Novec fluids effectively remove contaminants from my parts?

Will Novec fluids stain, dissolve or otherwise react with my materials?

One way to answer these questions is to try our fluids on your parts, in either your plant or our vapor degreasing lab.

In our sample and trial program, 3M technical experts will work with you to determine which Novec cleaning fluid is the best match for your parts, your contaminants and your expectations.

Will Novec fluids dissolve my contaminant?

A simple mix-and-shake test can help confirm if your oil or grime is soluble in that Novec fluid. If it is soluble, it will likely work with your parts.
Will Novec fluids clean my parts?

Test Novec fluids’ cleaning performance by immersing a sample of your parts with a sample of your contaminant in boiling fluid.
Are Novec fluids compatible with my materials?

A quick soak test can give you confidence that any plastics or elastomers that you’re cleaning – or that your equipment includes – are compatible with Novec fluids.
