Vad är PFAS kemikalier?

PFAS är ett samlingsnamn för cirka 5 000 industriellt framställda kemikalier. De används i ett stort antal produkter som till exempel i brandskum och impregneringsmedel. PFAS är vitt spridda i miljön, extremt långlivade och vissa är giftiga.

What is the difference between PFA and Teflon?

Teflon™ perfluoroalkoxy (PFA) industrial coatings melt and flow during baking to provide nonporous films. These multi-coat systems provide higher continuous use temperatures (260 °C [500 °F]), have a high dielectric strength, and are considered tougher than PTFE or FEP.

What are PFAS and are they harmful?

PFAS are found in water, air, fish, and soil at locations across the nation and the globe. Scientific studies have shown that exposure to some PFAS in the environment may be linked to harmful health effects in humans and animals.

What is Teflon™ film?

Long-term weather resistance, including a high transmittance of ultraviolet radiation and other radiation (except for far infrared [FIR]) These films come in a variety of gauges and surface treatments. Teflon™ and Tefzel™ films can be used for various applications, including:

How can we reduce the risk of PFAS?

Meaningful and achievable action steps that can be taken to reduce risk PFAS are widely used, long lasting chemicals, components of which break down very slowly over time.
