Innovation 3 3M s Novec 1230 Fire Protection Fluid does not get things wet. 

One example of this type of product innovation is the 3M Novec 1230 Fire Protection Fluid that was developed using a balanced lifecycle approach. Until the early 1990s, halon was used for critical fire protection applications (e.g., communications and electronic equipment). With the production of halons banned because of high ozone depletion potential and most of the halon replacement...

The lowest investment costs can be achieved by using an aqueous-based or Novec HFE-cosolvent cleaning process. 

Closed vapor degreasing and Novec HFE-cosolvent processes are more competitive regarding waste disposal. 

Enzyme synthesis and fluorescence measurement of enzyme activity in the microdroplets were performed on a microfluidic platform composed of an inverted microscope (Nikon TE-200U), a thermoplate to heat the microfluidic chip to 37 °C, and four syringe pumps that delivered different reagents (oil, amino acid mix, nucleic acid mix, enzyme substrate) into the PDMS chip. The oil phase was composed of fluorinated oil (Novec 7500) mixed with 2 % Pico-Surf-surfactant from Dolomite [2]. 

The adsorption capacity of activated caibon fabrics that range in average pore size from less than 1 mn (micropoies) to more than 2 nm (mesopores) was recently pubhshed for a vesicant simulant (chloroethyl ethylsulfide or CEES) (7). These results show a direct correlation between the average pore size of the fabric and its specific surface area with its adsoption capacity for CEES from CEES/methoxyperfluorobutane (sold commercially as Novec HFE-7100 by 3M Co.) solutions. The results of comparable measurements with a military grade vesicant, dichloroethyl sulfide (chemical warfare agent HD), are presented and compared to those obtained with CEES in this paper. 

Furthermore, pure Novec HFEs can be used for the removal of light soils, halogenated compounds like fluorinated greases or oils, and other particles.
