3M™ Novec™ Phase-Out: Running Low on Stock? EnviroTech Europe Supply Direct Replacements

The 3M™ Novec™ phase-out is now in full effect, with 3M™ having officially discontinued its Novec™ Engineered Fluids in December 2025. For companies in electronics, aerospace, medical devices, and precision engineering, this has meant disrupted supply chains, rising costs, and a search for alternatives. EnviroTech Europe now supplies ProSolv® Direct Replacements, including PFAS-free solvents and standard vapour degreasing solvents, designed to keep precision-cleaning processes running without disruption.

The Novec™ Phase-Out: The Situation Today

Final orders for most 3M™ Novec™ grades closed on 31st March 2025, and supply has now ceased completely. Six months on, remaining stocks have largely dried up, prices on any leftover inventory have climbed sharply, and businesses still reliant on Novec™ processes face growing operational risk. The phase-out is complete - the question now isn’t whether to transition, but how quickly you can do it well.

ProSolv^® Direct Replacements - Engineered for a Seamless Switch
EnviroTech Europe developed the ProSolv^® range specifically to meet this moment. Formulated as chemically precise, drop-in alternatives for all Novec™ grades, these vapour degreasing solvents match cleaning power, non-flammability, and GWP and ODP profiles, with no changes required to existing equipment. The range is already proven in transition, having been adopted by companies across multiple sectors since the phase-out began.

Support Through the Transition
EnviroTech Europe backs the ProSolv^® range with free on-site assessments, cleaning trials, sample materials, and technical consultations, plus long-term supply stability through UK-based manufacturing and a global distributor network.

Future-Proof Your Process with PFAS-Free Solvents
EnviroTech Europe also offers ProSolv^® 5408e, a next-generation PFAS-free solvent with zero ODP and a GWP of less than 1. It has been independently evaluated against rigorous testing standards, including Flash Point (ASTM D3828, ASTM D93), Flammable Limits (ASTM E918), Stock Loss (ARP1755B), IGA Intergranular Attack, Stress Corrosion of Titanium Alloys (ASTM F945-12), and Hydrogen Embrittlement (ASTM F519-17a).

Your Next Steps: Secure Supply, Minimise Risk
Businesses still navigating the phase-out should review their current Novec™ inventory, contact EnviroTech Europe for an on-site assessment or free product trial, and evaluate ProSolv^® matches — including standard and PFAS-free vapour degreasing solvents, to secure a seamless switch from 3M™.
