Our 3M Novec replacments have similar, if not superior cleaning performance to the Novec Specialty Fluids and clean a wide variety of soils including oil, grease, particles, inks, fingerprints and more. Additionally, our Novec replacements have similar, if not identical compatibility profiles to help prevent damage to delicate materials.

The MicroCare Novec replacement fluids also offer the following benefits:

  • The Novec Speciality Fluid replacements are azeotropes, making them chemically stable in both vacuum and vapor degreasers

  • The alternatives to Novec cleaning fluids are nonflammable, making them safe to use, handle and store without special explosion-proof equipment

  • The drop-in Novec replacements are domestically formulated and produced in New Briatin, CT. They are readily available, with plenty of capacity to ensure supply, for immediate shipment without importing issues or long waits

  • The Novec alternative cleaning fluids boast low GWP (Global Warming Potential) and zero ODP (Ozone Depleting Potential) ratings to help reduce greenhouse gas effects and meet strict regional air quality regulations

  • Novec replacements come with extensive MicroCare technical support with ongoing training and advice to make your transition to a Novec alternative fluid a healthy success for the planet, your workers and your bottom line
