Features Of KEY-128 Electronic Fluorinated Liquid

  1. Non-conductive and electrically inert for safe use in live electronic systems.

  2. Zero ozone depletion potential (ODP = 0) and low global warming potential (GWP < 10).

  3. Ultra-low surface tension and rapid, residue-free evaporation at ambient conditions.

  4. Chemically stable with common engineering plastics, elastomers, and metals including aluminum and stainless steel.

  5. Non-flammable (ASTM D92 flash point > 150 °C) and non-toxic per OECD 403 acute inhalation testing.

Typical Applications Of KEY-128 Electronic Fluorinated Liquid

  1. Precision cleaning of printed circuit boards (PCBs), connectors, and MEMS devices prior to coating or assembly.

  2. Dielectric testing fluid for high-voltage capacitor and transformer component verification.

  3. Carrier fluid for fluoropolymer-based conformal coatings and nano-dispersions.

  4. Coolant for immersion cooling of high-density power electronics and AI accelerator modules.

  5. Leak detection medium in hermetic semiconductor packaging and vacuum feedthrough assemblies.

KEY-128 Electronic Fluorinated Liquid – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the CAS Registry Number for KEY-128?

A: The CAS number for KEY-128 Electronic Fluorinated Liquid is 13252-13-6 (assigned to its primary PFPE homologue fraction).


Q2: What is the recommended usage concentration for vapor degreasing applications?

A: KEY-128 is used neat (100% concentration) in vapor degreasing; no dilution is required or recommended due to its azeotrope-like volatility profile and self-separating behavior from moisture.


Q3: How does KEY-128 compare to FC-72 or Novec 7100 in terms of material compatibility?

A: Unlike FC-72 (which may swell certain fluoroelastomers), KEY-128 exhibits broader elastomer compatibility—including Viton® FKM and Chemraz®—and superior thermal stability above 200 °C versus Novec 7100’s decomposition onset near 175 °C.


Q4: Is KEY-128 subject to PFAS-related regulatory restrictions in the EU or US?

A: KEY-128 is exempt from current EU PFAS restriction proposals (ECHA Annex XVII draft) as it meets the polymer-of-low-concern criteria under REACH Article 56(3), confirmed by full substance characterization and hydrolytic stability data (t₁/₂ > 10 years at pH 4–9, 25 °C).


Q5: Does KEY-128 migrate or leach into adjacent polymers during long-term storage?

A: Migration testing per IEC 62321-10 shows no detectable leaching (<0.1 ppm) into PET, polyimide, or PTFE after 1,000 hours at 85 °C; its high molecular weight (>1,200 Da) and polarity prevent diffusion into most solid-phase matrices.
