FC-75 is a fluorocarbon derivative of tetrahydrofuran with the chemical formula C₈F₁₆O. It is practically insoluble in water.

It is one of the 3M Fluorinert fluids. It is used as an inert coolant fluid in electronics and other applications, and as a solvent. FC-75 can be synthesized by the same electrochemical fluorination process used to produce PFOA.^[1] However, other perfluorinated ether isomers will also result.

H(CH₂)₇COCl + HF → H(CH₂)₇COF + C₇H₁₆ + 2C₈F₁₆O + HCl + H₂

A similar fluorocarbon-based coolant and solvent is perfluorohexane.
