Opteon™ Specialty Fluids New product innovation from Chemours
Specialty fluids that enable lower consumption of product and energy/resources while lowering the site environmental footprint.
Opteon™ specialty fluids are ideally suited for use in vapor degreasing equipment for precision and specialty cleaning, rinsing, and drying, in addition to some specialty applications.

Our new products have been developed for the specialty applications market, including heat transfer fluid, carrier fluid/lubricant deposition, high voltage dielectrics, and precision cleaning. They have zero ozone depletion potential (ODP) and low global warming potential (GWP) to meet stringent environmental regulations and requirements.

Opteon™ SF10Physical Properties
Opteon™ SF10 is a clear, colorless, nonflammable, thermally stable fluorinated fluid developed in response to worldwide market demand for a low environmental impact heat transfer fluid, brine coolant, dielectric fluid and test fluid as well as a solvant for cleaning and carrier fluid applications.

Benefits

– Boiling point 110°C
– Zero ODP
– Very low GWP (2.5 GWP), 100-yr ITH
– Can replace PFCs, PFPEs, HFEs, HFCs, and HCFCs in heat transfer applications
– Favorable characteristics of the product, viscosity and density, enable superior heat transfer performance

Typical Applications

– Single Phase Heat Transfer Fluid for Semiconductor Manufacturing
– Brine Coolant
– Dielectric Fluid
– Test Fluid for Leaks in Devices (i.e., Bubble Tests)
– Cleaning Agent
– Coating Agent (Carrier Fluid) for Fluorinated Materials
