Nithin Kuncheria - PFAS from a rubber compounder’s perspective

With the recent news on the proposal of an EU-wide PFAS ban, presented by ECHA, there has been much debate in the wider industry to classify fluoropolymers as PFAS of low concern given their nontoxic/non-bio-accumulative nature. However, the use of concerning fluoro-surfactants in their manufacturing has complicated this. Clwyd has been working with FKM suppliers and customers to evaluate the transition to fluoropolymer versions manufactured with non-fluorosurfactants, mitigating the risks of the proposal. Recent updates on PFAS concerning FKMs and evaluations for alternatives with careful adjustment of formulations will be discussed along with our understanding from the wider industry in terms of applications for the future.
