Phase-out of 3M™ Novec™ Engineered Fluids - ProSolv® Direct Replacements are a range of drop-in alternatives for 3M™ Novec™ cleaning and degreasing products.

In December 2022, 3M™ announced their plans to stop producing per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in its product line. Final order dates have now been set for March 31st 2025, and the supply of these products will end on December 31st 2025.

This phase-out affects the following 3M™ product lines:

3M™ Novec™ Engineered Fluids 3M™ Fluorinert™ Electronic Liquids

With 3M™ discontinuing these products, many companies are now evaluating alternatives to find suitable replacements. It's essential to consider key factors to ensure the replacement not only meets your immediate requirements but also supports long-term success.
