Perfluorooctane sulphonate

A journalist contacted us to ask our opinion on the risks of PFOS, perfluorooctane sulphonate, and the need for regulatory action. We had never even heard of this substance. After some investigation, we found out that it is neither produced nor used in Sweden ... [Pg.141]

Fluorocarbons are known to introduce durable water and oil repellency (DWOR) and, as such, they are apphed in water- and stain-repellent fabrics for apparel. The combination of water and oil repellency is a typical behavior of fluorocarbon products. In the past, finishes based on C8 fluorocarbons (eight carbon atoms in the structure) were mainly used. However, concerns arose associated with these C8 fluorocarbons, more specifically with respect to PFOA (perfluorooctanoic acid or pentadecafluorooctanoic acid) and PFOS (perfluorooctane sulphonate or heptadecafluoro-l-octanesulfonic acid).

FTS is also used as a component in more complex structures (e.g., in water proofing agents) and as a substitute for perfluorooctane sulphonate (PFOS). [Pg.27]
