Toxicity Prole
The toxicological testing completed on Novec uid HFE-7100 shows the overall toxicity is low. The material is practically non-irritating to the eyes, minimally irritating to the skin and is not a mutagen or cardiac sensitizer. It is rated practically non-toxic through inhalation. A 90-day inhalation study has helped establish a recommended exposure guideline of 750 ppm for an eight-hour average worker exposure per day. This exposure guideline was established by the American Industrial Hygiene Association. Toxicological Test Results

Materials Compatibility
Testing of Novec uid HFE-7100 demonstrates compatibility with a wide range of metals, plastics and elastomers, similar to the performance of peruorinated 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 uorinated liquids, HFE-7100 uid will absorb into uorinated plastics and elastomers over longer exposures.
Metals
Aluminum Copper Carbon Steel 302 Stainless Steel Brass Molybdenum Tantalum Tungsten Cu/Be Alloy C172 Mg Alloy AZ32B
Plastics
Acrylic (PMMA) Polyethylene Polypropylene Polycarbonate Polyester Epoxy PET Phenolic ABS
Elastomers
