Materials Compatibility

plastics and elastomers, similar to the performance of perfluorinated liquids. Good compatibility with

particularly sensitive plastics such as polycarbonate and PMMA indicates utility in cleaning of assemblies

containing many composite materials. As with most fluorinated liquids, Novec 71IPA fluid will absorb into

fluorinated plastics and elastomers over longer exposures.
