Features Of KEY-140 Electronic Fluorinated Liquid

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

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

  3. Fast-drying, residue-free evaporation with no need for rinsing or wiping.

  4. Chemically stable across wide temperature and humidity ranges (-40 °C to +125 °C).

  5. Non-corrosive to copper, aluminum, solder alloys, and common PCB substrates.

Typical Applications Of KEY-140 Electronic Fluorinated Liquid

  1. Precision cleaning of printed circuit boards (PCBs) prior to conformal coating.

  2. Defluxing of fine-pitch SMT assemblies and BGA components.

  3. Coolant and heat-transfer medium in immersion cooling systems for high-performance computing.

  4. Dielectric testing fluid for high-voltage capacitor and transformer manufacturing.

  5. Carrier solvent for fluoropolymer-based protective coatings in electronics assembly.

KEY-140 Electronic Fluorinated Liquid – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the CAS Registry Number for KEY-140?

A: The CAS number is 13252-13-6, assigned to its primary PFPE component (Krytox® GPL-type analog structure).


Q2: What is the recommended usage concentration for defluxing applications?

A: KEY-140 is used neat (100% concentration); dilution is not recommended as it compromises dielectric integrity and volatility profile.


Q3: How does KEY-140 compare to hydrocarbon or chlorinated solvents in terms of material compatibility?

A: Unlike hydrocarbons, KEY-140 shows no swelling or stress cracking in polycarbonate or ABS; unlike chlorinated solvents, it poses no risk of metal halide formation or latent corrosion on silver-plated contacts.


Q4: Is KEY-140 subject to FDA extraction limits for electronics used in medical devices?

A: Yes — validated per USP <87> and <88> cytotoxicity testing; extractables ≤ 0.1 µg/cm² for polymeric interfaces per ISO 10993-12 protocols.
