Oh mother of all that is green-

Do Novinium Ultrinium™ fluids contain the carcinogen, developmental toxin, and male reproductive toxin benzene as Perficio™ 011 fluid does?

Sleepless in Seattle

Dear Sleepless-

Sleep well in your burrow tonight.  No. 

Perficio 011 fluid is based upon phenylmethyldimethoxysilane (PMDMS) fluid disclosed by U.S. Patent 4,766,011 and invented by a Novinium founder over two decades ago.  PMDMS-based fluid includes up to 100 ppm of benzene, because the PMDMS is a reaction product of an industrial process that begins with benzene.

In contrast, Novinium Ultrinium brand products include starting materials, which are not known carcinogens, developmental toxins, or reproductive toxins, because it is virtually impossible to remove all traces of incompletely consumed starting reagents.
