Not sure about that. Fluorinert's big application point is that it is inert. That means that it does not chemically react with anything, at all, ever.

There are Perfluorcarbons out there that are not so friendly, and will eat plastics faster than a depressed bulimic hits the chocolate cake.

FC-77 and its brethren has marginally less cooling performance than water. I have used both in the same loop, under the same conditions, and can confirm other people's findings that there is no more than a degree or so in it.
