In light of regulations regarding PFAS, we will review the cleaning processes that continue to use fluorinated cleaning agents.
The EU's REACH regulation is progressing towards a comprehensive regulation of PFAS. In the future, it is expected that there will be more situations where confirmation and explanation will be required not only regarding the presence of PFAS in products but also about the use of PFAS in raw materials, components, and manufacturing processes, as well as their alternatives. Cleaning processes that use fluorinated cleaning agents and fluorinated surfactants may also be subject to review in the future. At that time, it will be important not only to avoid using PFAS but also to ensure that they are not replaced with other regulated substances. A review of processes that can ensure necessary cleaning performance while minimizing environmental impact and effects on human health is required. 'VB1000' is a water-based industrial cleaning agent that primarily consists of water and minerals, and does not use synthetic chemicals, surfactants, organic solvents, or PFAS. By using heating or ultrasonic cleaning as needed, cleaning performance can be enhanced, allowing for the construction of cleaning processes tailored to the type of dirt, target objects, and equipment conditions. Additionally, as a water-based cleaning agent that does not fall under organic solvents or hazardous materials, it is easier to manage storage, fire safety, ventilation, and working environment burdens. It is an alternative candidate for reviewing cleaning processes to avoid bringing PFAS into the process, rather than a direct replacement for fluorinated cleaning agents.
