PROMOSOLV NEO A1 : An environmentally friendly alternative to 3M Novec™ 7100, offering superior material compatibility and residue-free drying.Designed specifically for optical lenses, sensitive substrates, and precision components, it provides ultra-low carbon footprint protection at the Greenway level.
With increasingly stringent global environmental regulations and the impending discontinuation of the 3M™ Novec™ series, the electronics and semiconductor industries are facing a critical moment of process transformation. PROMOSOLV™ NEO A1 is Inventec’s next-generation “Greenway” environmentally friendly solvent, which is not only completely free of PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances), but also has an extremely low global warming potential (GWP < 1), making it the best solution for achieving both high-performance cleaning and corporate sustainability (ESG) .
Suitable for temperatures ranging from ultra-low to high, ensuring long-term stability and efficient heat dissipation of critical electronic components in single-phase systems!
- Dielectric heat transfer fluid
- Boiling point: 110°C/230°F
- No flashpoint & ultra-low GWP
Core Product Advantages
PROMOSOLV™ NEO A1 is a non-flammable solvent designed specifically for vapor degreasing, capable of handling the most demanding precision cleaning challenges.
- Powerful dissolving ability: With an excellent KB (Kauri-Butanol value), it can thoroughly remove all kinds of flux residues, oil stains, wax and fingerprints.
- Excellent penetration: Its low surface tension allows it to penetrate beneath fine-pitch components and complex geometries, ensuring thorough cleaning without any blind spots.
- Extremely fast drying speed: parts are dry as soon as they come out of the oven, eliminating the need for additional baking processes and significantly shortening the production cycle.
Safety & Environmental Commitment
With the global supply chain increasingly focused on PFAS and global warming potential (GWP), NEO A1 is the top choice for Taiwanese companies seeking transformation.
- Extremely low global warming potential (GWP): Significantly lower than traditional solvents (such as HFCs or older fluorinated solvents), helping companies achieve carbon neutrality goals.
- Non-flammable safety features: No flash point, not classified as a dangerous goods for transportation, significantly reducing the risks associated with factory storage and operations.
- Zero Ozone Depletion (Zero ODP): Fully compliant with the Montreal Protocol, it is an ideal alternative to traditional HCFC solvents.
- Friendly working environment: High exposure limit values protect the health of frontline workers.
Exceptional Performance
Designed for Taiwan’s leading semiconductor and high-end medical device manufacturing industries, the NEO A1 offers unparalleled cleanliness.
- Low surface tension: Compared to traditional water washing, NEO A1 has better flowability and can easily remove tiny impurities under flip chips or BGA components.
- Stable azeotropic properties: It exhibits extremely stable performance in vapor phase cleaning equipment, ensuring consistent cleaning quality from the first piece to the last.
- Cleaning without ultrasonic waves: In many applications, extremely high cleanliness can be achieved simply by vaporization and spraying, avoiding damage to precision components.
Cost optimization
From the perspective of process integration and equipment maintenance, we can achieve real economic benefits.
- Low energy consumption operation: The lower boiling point (approximately 40-60°C, depending on the specific formula) means shorter heating time and lower power consumption.
- Solvents can be recycled: Through condensation and filtration in the vapor phase cleaning system, solvents can be repeatedly recycled, significantly reducing material replenishment costs.
- Eliminating the need for water treatment: Compared to the water washing process, NEO A1 does not require pure water (DI Water) and has no burden or risk of wastewater treatment.
Application area
PROMOSOLV™ NEO A1 has demonstrated its value across Taiwan’s core growth sectors:
- Semiconductors and Packaging: Residual flux is removed after packaging to ensure stable electrical performance.
- Aerospace & Defense: High-reliability circuit board (PCB) cleaning, compliant with MIL military standards.
- Precision mechanics and optics: Degreasing and fingerprint removal treatment for key precision parts.
- Electronic Rework: Performing partial or overall cleaning treatment on repaired circuit boards.
