Product overview

Built around the cleaning result

AGC Chemicals AE3100E Asahiklin AE3100E Asahiklin AE3100E is a fluorinated solvent used for cleaning, alcohol drying, and dewatering. This Hydrofluoroether (HFE-347pc-f) is a nonflammable solvent that has excellent material compatibility, low surface tension, low Global Warming Potential, and Zero ODP.

It is recommended that Asahiklin AE3100E be used in a vapor degreaser to optimize cleaning efficiency, economy, and emission control. Cleaning procedures for Asahiklin AE3100E are quite similar to those of AK225 products. The procedures consist of immersing a workload into the boiling solvent, rinsing, or spraying with cool solvent and drying in solvent vapor.

Applications: Defluxing of electronics, electrical components, and printed wiring assemblies Precision cleaning of metals, alloys, composites, and plastics Drying agent after cleaning with hydrocarbons or alcohols Drying after wet plating and for Carbide Metal before coating Particle removal Replacement for HCFC, Dupont™ Vertrel®, & 3M™ Novec™ solvents Benefits: Non-flammable Non-corrosive Low global warming potential (GWP) Zero ozone depletion potential (ODP) Excellent thermal, chemical, and hydrolytic stability Low surface tension, low viscosity, high liquid density Superior drying property Excellent permeability Recyclable Recoverable by simple distillation Can be used with ultrasonics No surfactants necessary Physical Properties: Property Asahiklin AE3100E Boiling Point 54C (129.2F) Melting Point -86C (-122.8F) Density (g/cm^3, 25C) 1.40 Viscosity (cST, 25C) 0.43 Surface Tension (dyne/cm/ 25C) 16.1 Specific Heat (kJ/kg K, 25C) 1.49 Latent Heat of Vaporization (KJ/kg, 51C) 187 Relative Evaporation Rate (Ether=100) 66 Flash Point (Open/Closed cup) none Vapor Pressure (kg/cm^2, 25C) 0.28

Process development

Specify chemistry and equipment together

Cleaning performance depends on the complete process: chemistry, concentration, temperature, time, mechanical action, filtration, rinsing, drying and bath maintenance.

eChem can review representative parts and soils, identify the right starting point, and help validate the process before it is released to production.

Current documentation

TDS and SDS review

Always confirm the latest technical and safety data before use. Availability, packaging and regulatory status can change.

Manufacturer reference: AGC Chemicals / ASAHIKLIN ↗

Application note: Final chemistry selection and operating parameters should be confirmed against the current TDS/SDS and tested on representative parts, soils and downstream requirements.

Build the right cleaning process

Share your materials, soils, throughput, equipment and cleanliness target. We’ll help narrow the chemistry and validate the process.
