ASAHIKLIN™ AE-3000 Series Fluorinated Solvents
AGC created ASAHIKLIN™ AE-3000 fluorinated solvents to replace halogenated solvents with unfavorable environmental properties. AE-3000 cleaning agents have no flash point, no ozone depletion potential (ODP), low global warming potential (LGWP) and low surface tension.
AE-3000 solvents are approved for use as:
- Precision cleaning solvents
- Defluxing agents for electronic circuitry
- Carrier solvents for silicone and fluorinated lubricants
- Moisture displacement fluids
- They can also be used in most existing vapor degreasing equipment with little or no modification.
Features
- ODP zero
- Minimal global warming potential
- Recyclable with distillation
- Chemically and thermally stable
- Nonflammable (no flash point)
- Broad compatibility with most plastics, elastomers, substrates and metals
Applications
- Cleaning of high-precision plastic and electronic components such as reflector glasses for laser printers, audio and video heads, and lenses
- Solvent carrier for silicone oils, hard disk lubricants, fluorinated greases and anti-rust agents
- Defluxing of printed circuit boards
- Drying element in aqueous system or as part of hydrocarbon cleaning process
- Refrigeration coolant and carrier solvent
- Precision cleaning of molded resin (components for copiers, cellular phones, camera parts, etc.)
- Dewatering of optical components
- Precision cleaning of delicate substrates
