The Story
TMC-43E is equivalent to 3M FC-43 offering similar chemistry and physical properties.
TMC-43E is a non-conductive, thermally, and chemically stable liquid ideal for many single-phase heat transfer fluid applications, especially in the electronics and semiconductor industry for testers, CVD, and TFT manufacturing. This combination of properties makes this product ideal for many electronic applications, including many electronic quality and reliability tests. Commonly used for burn-in testing, environmental stress screening, and vapor phase soldering.
APPLICATIONS
- Electronic Testing
- Heat Transfer
- Gross Leak Testing
- Thermal Shock Testing
- Semiconductor Cooling

SHELF LIFE & STORAGE
Shelf life is 60 months from the date of manufacture when stored in the original packaging materials and stored under normal conditions. TMC will re-certify material every 5 years up to 20 years.
DISPOSAL AND RECYCLING
This fluid can be recycled and reused. Help protect the environment, and don't pay for expensive disposal services. TMC Industries can reclaim your used fluorinated fluids, restoring them to like-new condition, and save you up to 50% in replacement fluids while protecting the environment, or TMC will recycle your fluid free of charge (conditions apply).
TMC Reclaimed Fluids are tested to meet new product specifications. It will be clear and odorless, and a Certificate of Analysis is issued with every order.
TMC Industries offers a 100% satisfaction guarantee on all of our reclaimed fluids. We back this up with a no questions asked refund policy. To learn more, click HERE.
