The Story
ANNOUNCEMENT: Effective October 15, 2024 3M has officially phased out production of 3M Fluorinert FC-3283. See the discontinuation notice HERE. TMC offers the following alternatives:
- TMC-3283: A miscible replacement offering the same chemistry and physical properties as 3M Fluorinert FC-3283.
- TMC-3283E: A miscible equivalent offering similar chemistry and physical properties as 3M Fluorinert FC-3283.
- FC-3283 Reclaimed Fluid: Reclaimed 3M Fluorinert FC-3283 guaranteed 99% purity.

Materials compatibility:
FC-3283 is compatible with most metals, plastics and elastomers.
Recycle and Reclamation:
Why pay for expensive disposal services, when TMC Industries can reclaim your used fluorinated fluids, restoring them to like-new condition, and saving you up to 50% in replacement fluids? TMC Industries also buys and resells used fluorinated fluids. Contact us for more details.
