3M Novec HFE phase out - D&S Ultra-Clean offers alternative Tergo

Yes, 3M has announced its decision to exit the solvent business, specifically focusing on discontinuing the manufacturing and use of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) by the end of 2025. This move includes ceasing production of products like 3M™ Novec™ solvents, which have been widely used in various industries. The decision is part of 3M's broader strategy to address environmental concerns and regulatory pressures associated with PFAS chemicals .

For businesses and industries affected by 3M's exit from the solvent market, alternative solutions are available. Companies like D&S Ultra-Clean, the official UK distributor of MicroCare™, offer PFAS-free cleaning agents such as the Tergo™ XCF range. These alternatives are designed to provide effective cleaning performance while aligning with environmental and safety regulations.

If you require assistance in selecting suitable replacement solvents or need more information on transitioning away from PFAS-containing products, feel free to ask.
