Product Information

3M™ Novec™ Flux Remover
Introduction
3M™ Novec™ Flux Remover uses advanced 3M solvent technology to remove a wide variety of solder fluxes used
in electronics manufacturing and repair – including rosin-based and many no-clean and lead-free fluxes. Novec
Flux Remover evaporates quickly, and leaves no residue. This industrial-strength cleaner is non-corrosive and
compatible with most plastics, with the exception of acrylics, polycarbonates, ABS and PS.
Novec Flux Remover is non-flammable, non-ozone depleting, has low global warming potential and does not
contain any hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs), hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), hazardous air pollutants (HAPs)
or n-propyl bromide (nPB). This product is formulated with 3M™ Novec™ 7200 Engineered Fluid, which is
VOC-exempt under California Air Resources Board (CARB) regulations. Novec Flux Remover is optimized
for both compliance with the CARB VOC limits and high performance because it does not resort to increased
use of inert propellants (dilution) in order to achieve compliance.
