PROMOSOLV NEO B1: A versatile solution that replaces 3M Novec™ 7100/7200 and is suitable for a wide range of substrates and general industrial oil stains.Achieving a perfect balance between “powerful cleaning” and “material safety” makes it the best choice for transformation in precision machinery and MRO maintenance.
In complex processes involving multiple metals and sensitive plastics, how can the perfect balance be struck between powerful cleaning and substrate protection? With traditional solvents like 3M™ Novec™ 7100/7200 facing discontinuation risks, PROMOSOLV™ NEO B1 demonstrates exceptional flexibility as a universal cleaning solution. Belonging to the Greenway Sustainable Series, B1 offers a highly efficient yet gentle cleaning path for general industrial oils and precision components, thanks to its broad compatibility and stable azeotropic properties. It not only addresses the regulatory challenges of PFAS bans but also helps you achieve optimal long-term business value by ensuring asset security and enhancing process resilience with its ultra-low GWP value.
Core Product Advantages
PROMOSOLV™ NEO B1 exhibits different solubility characteristics compared to A1/A2, and is particularly adept at handling heavy industrial pollutants.
- Ultimate degreasing performance: Optimized for removing cutting oil, vacuum oil, grease and wax from semiconductor equipment parts and molds .
- Excellent diffusion and wetting: Its extremely low surface tension allows it to penetrate even the finest mechanical gaps, ensuring that the surface of the parts is completely clean and free of chemical residues.
- High-efficiency drying: It has an ideal evaporation rate, which can dry quickly without leaving water stains or solvent spots, making it suitable for precision optical and sensor components.
Safety & Environmental Commitment
In Taiwan’s push for “green factories,” the NEO B1 offers a balance between legal compliance and operational safety.
- Extremely environmentally friendly with GWP < 1: Its global warming potential (GWP) is extremely low, far exceeding that of traditional nPB or older fluorinated solvents, making it a powerful aid to enterprises’ carbon reduction goals.
- Zero Ozone Depletion (ODP): Fully compliant with the Montreal Protocol, it does not burden the atmosphere.
- Free of PFAS and HAP: Free of harmful air pollutants, it not only complies with environmental regulations but also ensures the safety of personnel working in semiconductor cleanrooms.
Exceptional Performance
NEO B1 offers unparalleled process stability for Taiwan’s strong microelectronics and optics industries.
- Material protection expert: It has extremely high compatibility with highly sensitive alloys, special polymers and composite materials, and will not cause surface fogging or cracking.
- Stable azeotropic properties: It performs stably in vapor phase cleaning machines, ensuring a high degree of cleanliness consistency in batch processing.
- It can also be used as a carrier solvent: due to its excellent solubility and volatility, it can also be used as a dilution and coating carrier for fluorinated lubricants.
Cost optimization
From the perspective of overall operational efficiency, NEO B1 helps customers achieve lean manufacturing.
- Low-temperature cleaning saves energy: The moderate boiling point design (about 50°C) reduces the heating power consumption of the equipment and reduces unnecessary solvent loss due to high temperature.
- Highly efficient recycling and reuse: It has excellent chemical and thermal stability, and the condensation recovery rate through the equipment is extremely high, effectively reducing the annual chemical procurement budget.
- No need for pure water washing: The all-solvent process eliminates the huge operating expenses of water washing, deionized water generation, and subsequent wastewater treatment.
Application area
- Semiconductor equipment maintenance: Cleaning vacuum pump oil and vacuum grease from PVD/CVD chamber components.
- Optical and camera lenses: Remove protective wax and polishing paste from the lens module manufacturing process.
- Microelectromechanical systems (MEMS): Cleaning lubricants in precision micro-mechanical structures.
- Automotive sensors: Cleaning and drying of sensing elements that require high reliability.
Health, safety and environment
PROMOSOLV NEO A1 is a GREENWAY product.
Main factors to reduce:
Human safety and health
- Absolutely safe protection: Non-flammable and with no flash point, it not only meets the EU’s No EUH risk phrases but also provides 100% safety assurance during storage and equipment operation. We eliminate all potential fire hazards, allowing businesses to protect their assets while creating an absolutely safe working environment for their colleagues.
- Low toxicity and gentle protection: Formulated with low-toxicity and low-corrosion properties, it maintains powerful detergency without posing a threat to operator health or damaging delicate substrates. This art of balance reflects our shared respect for both people and materials.
Environmental protection and resource conservation
- Towards Zero Warming Impact: With Zero/Ultra-low GWP (Zero/Ultra-low Global Warming Potential), we significantly reduce carbon footprints at the source, helping businesses easily achieve ESG sustainable carbon reduction goals in the face of climate change challenges.
- Our exclusive eco-friendly recycling program (ECOPROGRAM): Our products are not only highly effective at cleaning, but they can also be recycled and reused through our ECOPROGRAM. This circular economy model reduces waste emissions and extends the lifespan of solvents, giving every drop of solvent new value.
- Ultimate resource utilization: Through optimized physical properties, we significantly reduce the consumption of solvents, consumables, water resources, and energy. We not only improve cleaning efficiency but also streamline hidden costs in your process, achieving a highly efficient win-win situation for environmental protection and operational benefits.
