In December 2022, 3M™ announced their plans to discontinue their Novec™ range of PFAS substances (per- and polyfluoroalkyl) in its product line. Final order dates were on March 31st 2025 and the supply of these products will end on December 31st 2025.
This affects the following 3M™ product lines:
3M™ Novec™ Engineered Fluids
3M™ Fluorinert™ Electronic Liquids
The phase-out has left many industries, including electronics, aerospace, medical, and precision engineering, scrambling for viable replacements that match the performance characteristics of Novec™ products, and businesses around the world who rely on these solvents for vapour degreasing applications are now seeking reliable alternatives.
EnviroTech Europe offers a range of direct replacements for the discontinued 3M™ Novec™ products, providing companies with a seamless transition without compromising performance, safety, cost, or compliance. Our ProSolv® Direct Replacements range of vapour degreasing solvent cleaners have been specifically developed to offer a chemically exact direct replacement for Novec™ fluids. These high-performance solvents are designed to match the cleaning power, non-flammability, and low global warming potential (GWP), ensuring an easy transition with minimal process modifications.
Benefits of switching to ProSolv® Direct Replacements range.
