Article Grading: The following comments were left by the quality and importance raters: (edit · history · watch · refresh) This article needs the following elements: 1) A concise definition of what perfluorochemicals (PFCs) are. 2) An explanation of the synthetic process used to manufacture PFCs in general and Fluorinet liquids in particular. 3) The chemical name and chemical structure of each of the Fluorinet liquids. 4) Explication that Fluorinet liquids are not chemically uniform, in other words, that each type of Fluorinet liquid will typically have different chain lengths. The reason for this (one being the high cost of purification of PFC liquids with completely defined chemical characteristics) and the problems presented (especially for off-label applications in biology or medicine, such as blood substitutes or liquid ventilating media, need to be explored. 5) Replication of the physical properties table as given by 3-M. The table currently available on the 3-M Fluorinet website is very telescoped; far more complete tables are available from their printed literature (if someone wants to obtain a copy of the older, more complete table of physical properties please let me know and I will supply a pdf).

Fluorinert is great
- What about Formic acid? Thanx 68.39.174.91 18:47, 10 July 2005 (UTC)
Can you fully dry electronic components after you pull them out of Fluorinert and use them on air or are they "lost" forever once you put them in Fluorinert? How long does it take to dry them?
[edit] TM
Littered with trademark suffix. Is this needed in WP?
[edit] Use as blood plasma and other medical uses
I was told by the gentlemen who run our Crays that they use it on premature babies who's lungs do not work yet to expand them and allow them to breath, AND that it can be used to replace blood plasma. I was in the military at the time and I was told the military did experiment with it but would not use it in the field because of its possible flammable/explosive properties.
Can anyone confirm any of these claims with any sources?
