A Market in Transition
Standard Fluids got its start in 2022 when 3M announced its decision to phase out all PFAS manufacturing by 2025. It sent shockwaves through industries that rely on high-performance fluorochemicals from fire protection to advanced electronics cooling. The Standard Fluids team was determined to ensure the future of the fluorochemical supply.
For many, this raised an urgent question: Who will ensure continuity, quality, and compliance once those products disappear?
Standard Fluids Corporation was built to answer that question.
From Legacy to Leadership
Our team includes the chemists, engineers, and sales leaders who helped develop and commercialize the original Novec™ and Fluorinert™ families at 3M.
When that chapter ended, we launched Standard Fluids to carry the technology forward, advancing the same safe, sustainable chemistries under a more agile, transparent, and globally focused model.
Today, our product lines—SF 1230 Fire Protection Fluid and SF 649 Immersion Cooling Fluid—represent the next generation of FK-5-1-12 and C6 ketone engineered fluids.
Multi-Source Manufacturing for Global Reliability
At Standard Fluids, supply resilience isn’t an afterthought—it’s a design principle. We are developing a multi-source production model to ensure continuous availability and stable pricing through:
- Multiple qualified raw-material suppliers
- Redundant blending and finishing hubs across North America, Europe, and Asia
- ISO-certified quality systems for every facility
- Batch traceability and retain samples maintained indefinitely
This approach eliminates single-point-of-failure risk—the same vulnerability that created recent global shortages.
Standards Compliance Without Compromise
Whether your application is a clean-agent fire suppression system or an AI immersion cooling tank, every Standard Fluids product aligns with leading international standards:
- NFPA 2001 and ISO 14520 for fire protection
- UL E-class testing and IEC dielectric standards for electronics cooling
- REACH and EPA TSCA registrations underway to ensure full global trade compliance
Sustainable Chemistry for the Long Term
Unlike legacy perfluorocarbons that persist in groundwater and atmosphere, SF 1230 fluid and SF 649 fluid are short-lived, non-bioaccumulative fluoroketones with GWPs near 1 and zero ozone depletion. They embody the next chapter in sustainable engineering, striking a balance between high performance and environmental responsibility.
