Features Of Hydrofluoroether Series CL7300

  1. Zero ozone depletion potential (ODP = 0) and low global warming potential (GWP < 15).

  2. Nonflammable, thermally stable, and chemically inert under standard operating conditions.

  3. Low surface tension and excellent material compatibility with common elastomers and plastics.

  4. Fast-drying, residue-free evaporation with no need for post-rinse in precision cleaning applications.

  5. Designed for closed-loop vapor degreasing systems to minimize environmental release and operator exposure.

Typical Applications Of Hydrofluoroether Series CL7300

  1. Final rinse solvent for aerospace components requiring ultra-low particle and ionic residue levels.

  2. Cleaning agent for high-reliability electronics, including MEMS devices and optical sensor assemblies.

  3. Carrier fluid for precision defluxing and flux residue removal in advanced SMT manufacturing.

  4. Dielectric testing fluid for high-voltage insulation verification in power electronics modules.

  5. Formulation base for specialty coatings and protective thin-film deposition processes.

Hydrofluoroether Series CL7300 – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the CAS Registry Number for CL7300?

A: The CAS number for Hydrofluoroether Series CL7300 is 132138-65-5.


Q2: What is the recommended usage concentration when used as a rinse carrier or co-solvent?

A: CL7300 is typically used neat (100% concentration); when blended as a co-solvent (e.g., with alcohols or esters), recommended ratios range from 20–80% v/v depending on solvency requirements and process validation data.


Q3: How does CL7300 compare to HFE-7100 or HFE-7200 in terms of boiling point and materials compatibility?

A: CL7300 has a lower boiling point (~77 °C) than HFE-7100 (86 °C) and HFE-7200 (104 °C), enabling faster cycle times; it also exhibits superior compatibility with silicone elastomers and certain polyimide films compared to HFE-7200.


Q4: Are there any known migration or extraction concerns when CL7300 contacts medical-grade polymers such as PVC or polyurethane?

A: Extensive extractables testing per USP <87> and <88> shows negligible leachables (<0.1 ppm) from PVC, polyurethane, and silicone after 72-hour contact at 25 °C; long-term immersion (>1 week) is not recommended without application-specific validation.


Q5: Does CL7300 require special regulatory certification for use in EU electronics manufacturing?

A: CL7300 is REACH registered and fully compliant with RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU); it contains no SVHCs above threshold and is exempt from SCIP reporting when used as a processing chemical (not placed on market as substance/mixture).
