I see from the link above that it has a high vapor pressure, but if the heat content is low then I am not interested. The dielectric properties are nice, though. I still may build a bath system some day...and sold in 100 mL bottles...

Fluorine used to be used in some automated cleaner / degreasers -pretty good stuff.

I can't relate to the surface tension figures. Will the stuff "wet" a copper surface?
Anyway -if it is not a good coolant, then I am not interested...and it is hazardous.
