Vertrel® XF is a proprietary hydrofluorocarbon fluid with zero ozone-depletion and a low global warming potential ideally suited for use in vapor degreasing equipment for cleaning, rinsing, and drying. It can replace current hydrochloro- fluorocarbon (HCFC) and perfluorocarbon (PFC) fluids in most applications. DuPontTM Vertrel® XF is HFC 43-10mee or 2,3-dihydrodecaflu- oropentane; empirical formula C5H2F10. It is a clear, colorless liquid

Applications

• Carrier fluids for coatings and lubricants
• Evaporates quickly after coating the substrate to leave a thin, uniform coating
• Removes particulate from delicate surfaces
• Cleaning and rinsing agent for light hydrocarbon oils and greases
• Excelllent cleaner for fluorinated lubricants such as
• Fomblin® and Krytox®
• Drying fluid
• Heat transfer media
• Dielectric fluid
• Replacement for HFCs, HFEs, HCFCs, PFCs and CFCs
• Excellent replacement for 3M Novec™ 7100 and 7200

• Outstanding particle 'hang-time' with minimal agitation delivers smoother coatings
• Calibrated PTFE content for consistent coating results and easy validation
• Simple equipment requirements for high-volume production
• The fluid is inimical to pyrogens, minimizing bioburden issues
• Compatible with ETO, ultrasonic and radiation sterilization processes
• Non-migrating lubricant
• Excellent materials compatibility
• Fast drying carrier fluid with minimal solvent odor
