Improve the safety and performance of your solvent cleaning applications with verified 3M Novec replacements.
3M recently announced plans to discontinue its popular line of Novec™ Engineered Fluids by 2025, which has already created an immediate supply problem for manufacturers with solvent-cleaning needs. As a result, companies are scrambling to identify the best alternative solution for the short and long term. Fortunately, we offer many cleaners for replacing 3M Novec solvents from leading brands like Chemtronics, MicroCare and Techspray.
Chemtronics offers an array of patented solutions to replace 3M Novec solvents. Widely available and more affordable than Novec, these solutions offer enhanced performance while meeting strict cleaning and purity standards. Chemtronics solutions are designed to be less harmful than many other solvents that are common in vapor degreasers.
Engineered for quality, performance and productivity, MicroCare cleaning solutions are synonymous with process improvement and innovation. MicroCare offers a range of replacement options for 3M Novec specialty fluids, including replacement options for 3M Novec aerosol cleansers, flux removers, and degreasers.
Techspray provides a series of chemically equivalent solvents for businesses responding to the erratic availability of Novant products. For a long-term replacement solution, Techspray solutions from the PWR-4 and Precision V product lines deliver better performance and pricing, and are also designed to replace nPB, TCE, and Perc.
