What are PFAS-free products?
Mar 24, 2023First of all, we must understand the substance PFAS. The full name of PFAS (Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) refers to perfluorinated or polyfluoroalkyl compounds, including nearly 5,000 industrially produced chemical substances, such as PFOA, PFOS, PFHxS, PFCAs etc. belong to PFAS.
Because of its unique physical and chemical properties, including oil and water resistance, it is mostly used in food packaging. However, PFAS is a persistent organic pollutant that causes lasting damage to humans and the environment. Many countries have banned the use of PFAS.
Therefore, products that do not contain fluorine or polyfluoroalkyl compounds can be called No PFAS.
