- Perfluorooctanoic
acid (PFOA), also known as C8 and perfluorooctanoate, is a
synthetic, stable perfluorinated carboxylic acid and
fluorosurfactant.
- PFOA, or
perfluorooctanoic acid, is a surfactant and an essential
polymerization aid used in very small quantities to help make
fluoropolymers, which are high performance plastic and synthetic
rubber materials.
- One industrial
application is as a surfactant in the emulsion polymerization of
fluoropolymers.
- It has been used
in the manufacture of such prominent consumer goods as Teflon
and GoreTex.
PFOA has been manufactured since the 1940s in industrial
quantities. It is also formed by the degradation of precursors
such as some
fluorotelomers.
- Perfluorooctanoic
acid (PFOA) has two main synthesis routes, electrochemical
fluorination (ECF) and telomerization.
- Perfluorooctanoic
acid (PFOA) is a member of a family of perfluorinated chemicals
that have a variety of applications.
- Perfluorooctanoic
acid (PFOA), a member of the perfluoroalkyl acid (PFAA) family
of compounds, is a strong surfactant that is used
primarily as a processing aide in the manufacture of certain
fluoropolymers.
- It is also a
possible degradation product of materials used for a variety of
commercial and industrial applications, including use as
fire-fighting foams, paint additives, surfactants, water, and
stain repellants for use on clothing, upholstery, carpets, and
as a coating on paper products for food containers.
- PFOA is chiefly
used by chemical companies and manufacturers to make
fluoropolymers, which are utilized in the manufacture of
non-stick cookware and breathable, stain resistant, all-weather
clothing.
- Perfluorooctanoic
Acid (PFOA) is a synthetic chemical discovered in the mid-20th
century by a well established chemical company.
- The term PFOA is
used to describe not only the carboxylic acid C8HF15O2, but also
a family of perfluorinated chemicals including
Perfluorooctanoic salts.
- PFOA is also
sometimes referred to as "C8” which the amount of carbon chains
found the molecule.
- Salts of
pentadecafluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) are polymerization aids used
in the manufacture of fluoropolymers one of the applications of
fluoropolymers is the coating of metal cookware products.
- Perfluorooctanoic
acid (PFOA) is a synthetic chemical that does not occur
naturally in the environment.
- Companies use PFOA
to make fluoropolymers, which are substances with valuable
properties for applications such as fire resistance and oil,
stain, and grease repellence.
- PFOA is highly
persistent in the environment and has been found at very low
levels in both the environment and in the blood of the
general U.S. population.
- Perfluorinated
acids (PFAs), including Perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) and
perfluorooctanesulfonic acid (PFOS), are widely distributed
environmental pollutants.
- PFOS and PFOA are
best known for their use in the production of Teflon and other
stain-resistant materials.
- The U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as well as international
and state public health regulators have recently focused
considerable attention on PFOA and PFOS, which are used for a
wide variety of industrial, commercial, and consumer
applications, because they are persistent, and bio-accumulative
depending on the length of the carbon chain.
- Perfluorooctanoic
acid (PFOA) and related
compounds have been used in a wide range of everyday consumer
products for more than 40 years.
- In Previous Years,
the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
initiated a “priority review” to determine whether expedited
regulatory action against PFOA and related compounds is
warranted.
- It is a man-made
chemical primarily used in fire fighting foams and to create
water resistant and stain treatments for paper and cloth.
- When used in the
form of a fire fighting foam, it is frequently known as "aqueous
film forming foam" (AFFF).
- When used in the
form of a water resistant treatment, "PFOA" is an acronym used
to indicate not only Perfluorooctanoic acid itself, but also its
principal salts.
- The Washington
Works Plant in West Virginia, owned and operated by the E.I. du
Pont de Nemours Company (DuPont), has used ammonium
perfluorooctanoate (APFO) in the manufacturing of fluoropolymers
since past years.
- Perfluorooctanoic
acid (PFOA) is also
formed as an unintended byproduct in the production of fluorotelomers and is present in finished goods treated with
fluorotelomers, including those intended for food contact.
- Perfluorooctanoic
acid (PFOA) contaminated waste was incorporated into soil
improver and spread on agricultural land in Germany, leading to
PFOA drinking water contamination of up to 0.519 parts per
billion.
