Why are you here?
Because you currently use Novec for your cleaning operation and 3M announced the discontinuation as of Novec Specialty Fluids.
Why is 3M discontinuing Novec Fluids
Novec Specialty Fluids are now defined by regulators as PFAS (Per/polyFluoroAlkyl substance) or more commonly referred to as Forever Chemicals with all its obligations and liabilities.
What should you do?
- Move away from Novec Specialty Fluids and learn from what 3M says and does. You should specifically stay away from any offering of the same blends and molecules. 3M Novec patents expired so anyone can produce identical formulations. Why should you bear the liability for the same blends that 3M is leaving behind?
- Consider using Versatill® products
