Techspray 3M Novec Replacements Solvents: Embracing PFAS-Free Alternatives

On December 20, 2022, 3M announced their plans to phase-out their Novec PFAS-based product lines by the end of 2025. This move has brought increased attention to the challenges and concerns surrounding 'forever' chemicals, or PFAS (Polyfluoroalkyl and Perfluoroalkyl Substances). These chemicals have been widely used in various applications, including high-precision cleaning in industries such as aerospace, automotive, data centers, and more.

Environmental agencies, such as the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), have raised alarms over PFAS due to their persistent nature. These substances break down very slowly and accumulate in the environment, animals, and even humans over time. As a result, they are often referred to as “forever chemicals” due to their long-lasting environmental and health impacts.
