Tergo™ GCF General Cleaning Fluid (3M Novec™ 71DA Replacement)

Product Information

Tergo GCF (General Cleaning Fluid) is ideal for cleaning mixed soils or mixed substrates

Applications:

• Removes conventional oils like cutting oils and drawing oils
• Cleans polar soils such as rosin, salts and no-clean flux residues
• Ideal for mixed soil or mixed substrate cleaning
• An excellent replacement for HCFCs, nPB, Perc and TCE
• Great alternative for 3M™ Novec™ 71DA

Features:

• An azeotrope-like mixture of trans 1,2-dicholorethylne , HFE and ethanol 
• Maintenance free – no need for acid acceptance testing and scavengers
• With a low surface tension, low viscosity and high density, it displaces soils inside tight, complex spaces
• Ideally suited for vapor degreasers
• Compatible with most plastic, ceramic and metal components
• Nonflammable for facility safety
• REACH, F-GAS and SNAP compliant
• Formulated in USA

Tergo General Cleaning Fluid (GCF) is an azeotrope-like mixture of trans 1,2-dichloroethylene, HFE and ethanol. It is ideally suited for use in vapor degreasing equipment. It offers improved solvency for both conventional oils and polar soils, such as salts and no-clean fluxes. It is a superior solvent compared to neat fluorocarbons, while maintaining excellent compatibility with most plastic, ceramic, and metal components. Typical applications include precision and specialty cleaning of components with mixed soils and/or mixed substrates.

Tergo GCF has “zero” ozone depletion potential, and low global warming potential. It can replace hydrofluorocarbons (HCFs), TCE and nPB in many applications. The components in Tergo GCF are accepted by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency under the Significant New Alternatives Program (SNAP) program, as a substitute for ozone-depleting substances.

Its unique properties include a high density, low viscosity, and low surface tension for effective removal of a variety of soils.
