3M brings you two aerosol products
that meet tough military aviation specs:
3M
™
Novec
™
Contact Cleaner and new
Contact Cleaner/Lubricant. Both are
designed to help you make the workplace
safer; comply with green initiatives; and
cut mission-critical electrical cleaning
challenges down to size.
Meets all MIL-PRF 29608A
requirements including:
• Cleaning efficiency
• Plastics compatibility
• Non-Flammable
• Low toxicity
• Non ozone-depleting
Supports U.S. DOD initiatives to procure
environmentally preferable products
Non-flammable / non-conductive aerosol solvents
For mission critical electrical cleaning challenges
No Flame
No Flash
Because they are non-corrosive, non-conductive, and penetrate deep into tight clearances, 3M™ Novec™ Contact
Cleaner and Contact Cleaner/Lubricant are effective on many aviation cleaning applications, including avionics,
electro-mechanical devices, instrumentation, electrical contacts, connectors and more. Just as important, they
combine low environmental impact with outstanding safety characteristics.

Aerosols,
you get more cleans per can!
Every Novec aerosol product can
contains over 95% active solvent – for
more cleaning power and more cleans
per can. Only 5% of the can contents
is devoted to the propellant, which is
ordinary CO
2
.
Compare this to many competitive
aerosols, which often contain 75% or
less active solvent in conjunction with
propellants such as tetrafluoroethane
(HFC-134a) – a formulating technique
these products require in order to be
defined as “nonflammable” and/or to
achieve VOC limitations.
