  • 2007-09-27

Regulations:2006/122/EC

Key points: Strict restrictions have been placed on the marketing and use of PFOS and related substances, but small-scale use is permitted as long as it does not pose an unacceptable danger.

Limit:

spacer•spacer0.005% (50 ppm) in preparations;
spacer•spacer0.1% (1000ppm) in the semi-finished product;
spacer•spacer1 μg/m2 in textiles or coatings.

xenophobic:

spacer
spacer•spacer影印工藝中防反射塗料 (photoresists or anti reflective coatings for photolithography processes)
spacer•spacer工業攝影塗料 (photographic coatings applied to films, papers, or printing plates)
spacer•spacer電鍍鉻抑制劑 (mist suppressants for non-decorative hard chromium (VI) plating and wetting agents for use in controlled electroplating systems)
spacer•spacer水壓流動系統 (hydraulic fluids for aviation

Hazards: It easily accumulates in living fatty organs and can be toxic to humans and wild animals.

Applications: PFOS is a high-fluorine compound. Commercially available compounds have structures such as C8F17SO2X, where X represents a hydroxyl group. PFOS can also be metal salts, halides, amides, and various other derivatives, including polymers. Due to their oil- and water-repellent properties, PFOS is widely used in textiles, carpets, paper, and other products. It is also used in the manufacturing of leather shoes, packaging, printing and dyeing, detergents, cosmetics, pesticides, fire extinguishers, and hydraulic fluids.
