Regulations on Teflon? Regarding the PFAS regulation proposal.
The regulation of Teflon resin explains the proposed PFAS regulations.
Teflon is a trademark of Chemours and refers to fluoropolymer. Fluoropolymers include types such as PTFE, PFA, and FEP, but currently, the use of fluoropolymers like PTFE, PFA, and FEP is not regulated in Japan. On the other hand, within the EU, regulatory proposals are being considered to minimize the emissions of PFAS. The following substances are also mentioned as targets: - Fluorinated surface treatment agents: water and oil repellents, release agents, fluoropolymer-containing coatings, etc. - Coatings: PTFE, PFA, FEP, ETFE, and other fluoropolymers (for applications such as corrosion lining, non-stick, lubrication, etc.) - Molding and processed products: PTFE, PFA, FEP, ETFE, and other fluoropolymers (such as lining sheets, fabric sheets, etc.) - Fluorinated surfactants, fluorinated oils, low molecular weight PTFE, fluorinated molding aids, etc. The regulatory proposals include fluoropolymers, which are considered to be extremely stable and pose no toxicological or environmental concerns.
