PTFE alternative coatings in response to trends in PFAS regulation.
Fluoropolymer (PTFE) alternative coatings compliant with environmental regulations.
Among PFAS, PTFE (fluoropolymer) is a substance that has different properties from PFOS, PFOA, and PFHxS, which are regulated under international treaties (the POPs treaty). Unlike these substances, PTFE is considered to have no harmful effects unless used at significantly high temperatures. However, there is currently a proposal being considered within the EU to regulate a comprehensive range of PFAS, including PTFE. If this regulatory proposal is adopted, it could lead to international regulatory trends beyond the EU, so it is necessary to keep an eye on developments. If regulations on fluoropolymers become a reality, the impact on the manufacturing industry could be immense, forcing companies to seek alternatives. Since there is no technology that can completely replace the excellent functions of fluoropolymers, the response will be extremely challenging. Yoshida SKT offers both fluoropolymer coatings (Teflon coatings) and non-fluoropolymer coatings, providing proposals tailored to customer needs. For more details, please check the link.
