Q1: What is the CAS Registry Number for Hydrofluoroether Series CL7200?
A: The CAS number is 132182-03-9 (representative isomer composition; full mixture registration available upon request under confidentiality agreement).
Q2: What is the recommended usage concentration when blended with co-solvents?
A: CL7200 is typically used neat (100%) in vapor degreasing and precision rinse applications; when blended (e.g., with alcohols for enhanced solvency), recommended ratios are 70–90% CL7200 / 10–30% co-solvent by volume.
Q3: How does CL7200 compare to HFC-43-10mee or traditional chlorinated solvents in terms of material compatibility and safety?
A: Unlike HFC-43-10mee (which exhibits higher GWP and lower thermal stability), CL7200 offers superior oxidative resistance and lower environmental impact; versus chlorinated solvents (e.g., TCE, nPB), it eliminates toxicity concerns (no hepatotoxicity or neurotoxicity signals) and requires no special ventilation beyond standard industrial hygiene practices.
Q4: Is CL7200 subject to migration or leaching in medical device polymer housings during cleaning cycles?
A: Extensive extractables and leachables (E&L) studies per USP <87>/<88> and ISO 10993-12 confirm negligible migration (< 0.1 ppm) in polycarbonate, PEEK, and medical-grade silicones after standard 3-minute immersion at 25 °C.
