Opteon™ SF80 Specialty Fluid
A New Generation of High-Performance Cleaning Solvents
Opteon™ SF80 is a hydrofluoroolefin (HFO) based specialty fluid designed to meet the needs of the industrial cleaning market. It is a blend of proprietary fluorinated fluids and trans-1, 2-dichloroethylene (t-DCE) with azeotrope-like properties.
With high solvency and low surface tension, Opteon™ SF80 powerfully cleans a range of contaminants in diverse applications, including:
Oil and grease removal
Precision cleaning
High solvency defluxing
Silicone removal
Vapor degreasing
Cold cleaning
Features and Benefits
Opteon™ SF80 is safe and nonflammable. It is an environmentally sustainable fluid that has a negligible ozone depletion potential (ODP) and a low global warming potential (GWP) of <2.5. It also contains no fluorinated greenhouse gases.¹
For industrial cleaning applications, Opteon™ SF80 offers:
Fast drying: With an optimum boiling point (47 °C/117 °F), cleaned parts can be immediately processed and used
High solvency, with a Kauri–Butanol (KB) value of 99
High soil loading capacity: Boosts productivity by reducing equipment downtime associated with solvent change-outs
Easy replacement: Existing vapor degreasing equipment requires minor/no modifications for use
Surfactant-free cleaning: Removes extra washing steps to achieve residue-free clean
Opteon™ SF80 has greater cleaning power and higher solvency, making it an excellent replacement for other strong solvency fluids, including:
Trichloroethylene (TCE)
n-propyl bromide (nPB)
Benzene
Perchloroethylene
Methylene chloride
