3M™ Novec™ Replacements

At the end of 2025, 3M™ Novec™ technical fluids were discontinued (phaseout). Novec™ fluids and materials are almost completely unavailable. 3M™ officially announced the discontinuation of all fluorinated materials, including all Novec™ fluids, in December 2022. 

Are you looking for a replacement for a 3M™ Novec™ material?

We have an alternative for every existing Novec™ material, many of which are even available from stock! 
By ordering directly from us, you benefit from the shortest delivery times, and even smaller quantities can still be procured cost-effectively. 
We offer chemically identical drop-in replacements for Novec™ 649, Novec™ 7000, Novec™ 7100, Novec™ 7200, Novec™ 7300, and Novec™ 7500. Furthermore, there are many related products that can serve as replacements, are available long-term, and are suitable for your application. These include many PFAS-free variants.

How do you find the right replacement material?

The first question is whether the replacement material must be chemically identical to the 3M™ predecessor, or whether alternative materials from other manufacturers are also suitable. Chemically identical materials offer the advantage of not requiring requalification – the fluid can be used exactly as before. An alternative material from another manufacturer often offers price advantages and more extensive technical support. Does it absolutely have to be PFAS-free? Then you can't avoid using a chemical alternative material, but we have solutions for this as well: Contact us.
