Physical Properties and Product Replacement

The HFE-7000 Series was developed as a direct Alternative Fluid for the 3M Novec Series and other fluorinated liquids that are being phased out. These fluids are technically designed for immediate integration into existing cleaning systems:

• No Flash Point: Products in this series exhibit no flash point according to standard testing methods, ensuring they are Non-flammable and enhancing safety in the manufacturing environment.

• Low Surface Tension: With values ranging from 13.6 to 19.9 mN/m, these fluids effectively penetrate microscopic gaps in precision-engineered workpieces.

• Low Viscosity: The low viscosity allows for high circulation efficiency and ensures thorough removal of contaminants from complex geometries.

HFE-7000 Series Product Lineup

The product range is categorized by Boiling Point and chemical composition to meet specific process requirements:

Note: Models ending in "DE" contain t-DCE (trans-1,2-Dichloroethylene) to enhance dissolving power.

Industrial Applications

The HFE-7000 Series supports a variety of critical operations in the electronics industry and high-precision manufacturing sectors:

• Cleaning Solvent: Effective removal of light oils and particulates from sensitive Electronic Parts.

• Rinsing and Drying Solvent: Used in final cleaning stages to ensure workpieces dry quickly without leaving residues or water spots.

• Dilution Solvent: Acts as a carrier or diluent for fluorinated Coating Agents and lubricants.

Production and Supply Standards

We focus on ensuring supply continuity to mitigate the risk of production downtime for our clients:

• Local Production in Thailand: Our facility in Pathum Thani enables localized quality control and significantly shorter Lead Times for regional customers.

• Japanese Technology: Research and development are supported by Japanese technical expertise to maintain consistent chemical standards across all batches.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the HFE-7000 Series replace the 3M Novec Series without changing the cleaning machines?
A: Yes, the HFE-7000 Series is engineered with physical properties very similar to the original Novec series. This ensures high Technical Compatibility with most existing vapor degreasers and cleaning systems without the need for major structural modifications.

Q: What is the benefit of choosing the "DE" models (HFE + t-DCE)?
A: The addition of t-DCE significantly increases the Dissolving Power compared to pure HFE models. These are ideal for removing more stubborn oils and contaminants while still maintaining a non-flammable profile under normal operating conditions.

Q: How does this series contribute to environmental management?
A: The HFE-7000 Series has an Ozone Depletion Potential (ODP) of zero and a low Global Warming Potential (GWP), making it compliant with international environmental standards and helping companies meet their sustainability goals.

Q: What is the typical lead time for orders within Thailand?
A: Because we manufacture locally in Pathum Thani, we can provide rapid response and delivery times. This localized supply chain helps our customers maintain continuous production without the delays associated with international shipping.
