Alternative Chemistries to Liquid PFAS

A worldwide manufacturing company is seeking alternative chemistries to liquid per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), specifically perfluoropolyether (PFPE), polyfluoroalkyl phosphate esters (PFAE) and fluorosilicones, which have raised environmental and health concerns due to their persistence, bioaccumulation, and potential toxicity. Ideally, these chemicals will be sustainable, cost-effective, and high-performance alternatives that can at least match the performance characteristics of PFAS-containing lubricants and research should comply with regulatory...
