3M Novec™ 612 Magnesium Protection Fluid
Categories:	Fluid
Material Notes:	Novec 612 fluid, dodecafluoro-2-methyl-3-pentanone or (CF3CF2C(O)CF(CF3)2, is a clear, colorless, and low odor fluid. Its properties, environmental profile, and margin of safety make it a sustainable material for protecting molten reactive metals such as magnesium and its alloys. Novec 612 fluid has the advantage of being a liquid at room temperature. This makes it easy to transport in conventional liquid containers of all sizes. Because of its low viscosity, Novec 612 fluid also is easy to transfer by pumping. Yet it quickly and easily evaporates into a gas stream for use as a cover gas because of its high vapor pressure and low heat of vaporization Information provided by 3M
