As electronic devices and energy systems become increasingly powerful, the demand for efficient and reliable thermal management solutions has never been greater. Traditional fluorinated fluids have long been used in cooling applications, but many rely on PFAS-based chemistries that raise serious environmental and regulatory concerns.

Fluquid® FCM-180E is designed as a next-generation solution. This HFO-based fluorinated liquid offers outstanding dielectric strength, low surface tension, and high material compatibility—while being PFAS-free, non-flammable, and eco-friendly. It is rapidly gaining adoption across industries, from semiconductor wafer fabrication to immersion cooling for energy storage systems.

What Makes Fluquid® FCM-180E Different?

1. PFAS-Free and Eco-Friendly

One of the biggest differentiators of FCM-180E is its sustainable chemistry. Unlike traditional PFAS-based fluorinated liquids, it contains no PFAS substances, has zero ozone depletion potential (ODP), and an extremely low global warming potential (GWP).

This means companies using FCM-180E can:

• Comply with strict international environmental regulations.

• Reduce their carbon footprint.

• Future-proof their cooling systems against regulatory phaseouts.

2. Superior Thermal and Electrical Performance

FCM-180E is engineered for high thermal stability and excellent dielectric strength, making it ideal for direct-contact cooling in electronics.

Key performance benefits:

• Dielectric cooling fluid that prevents electrical short circuits.

• Medium-to-high boiling point for stable operation under varying thermal loads.

• Low surface tension that improves wetting and heat transfer efficiency.

• Inherent non-flammability, enhancing safety in critical environments.

3. Broad Application Compatibility

With its balanced physical and chemical properties, FCM-180E is suitable for a wide range of industries:

• Semiconductor wafer fabrication – for high-purity heat transfer in process chambers.

• Electronic reliability testing – stable dielectric performance under stress conditions.

• Immersion cooling for energy storage – direct liquid cooling of batteries and power modules.

• Next-generation electronics – from data centers to high-performance computing.

Applications in Detail

Semiconductor Manufacturing

In wafer fabrication and reliability testing, thermal stability and insulation are critical. FCM-180E ensures uniform cooling without compromising sensitive electronic components. Its PFAS-free formulation also supports semiconductor companies’ sustainability goals.

Energy Storage and Battery Cooling

As energy storage systems expand for renewable power, immersion cooling with fluorinated liquids offers enhanced safety compared to air or water cooling. FCM-180E’s non-flammable and eco-friendly profile makes it a strong candidate for large-scale deployments.

High-Performance Computing (HPC) and Data Centers

With rising power densities in CPUs and GPUs, air cooling is no longer sufficient. Immersion cooling with FCM-180E provides efficient, direct-contact heat transfer, reducing energy consumption and improving reliability.

Why Eco-Friendly Cooling Matters Now

The global shift toward sustainability in electronics manufacturing is accelerating. PFAS bans and stricter GWP limits are forcing companies to find alternatives. Choosing a green fluorinated liquid like Fluquid® FCM-180E not only helps organizations meet compliance but also positions them as leaders in responsible innovation.

Moreover, customers and regulators are increasingly demanding PFAS-free cooling solutions, and industries that adapt early will gain competitive advantages in global markets.

Conclusion

Fluquid® FCM-180E represents a new era of eco-friendly fluorinated liquids. By combining PFAS-free chemistry, excellent dielectric properties, and broad application compatibility, it delivers both performance and sustainability.

Whether you are working in semiconductor wafer processing, reliability testing, immersion cooling, or energy storage, FCM-180E offers a future-proof solution for your thermal management needs.
