We offer alternative products for those who are having trouble obtaining release agents, water and oil repellents, and fluorine-based compounds due to supply discontinuation. Please feel free to consult with us.
                      The current regulations regarding PFAS are as follows:
Complete regulation: PFOS, PFOA, and precursors of PFHxS are subject to regulation for almost all applications.
Planned regulation in Europe: PFHxA is prohibited for use in the following limited applications: textiles, leather, paper, food packaging, shoes, etc.
For PFAS other than the above (organic fluorinated compounds), it has been considered that there are no impacts on the environment or human health in the past. There is no evidence that substances other than the currently regulated PFAS are harmful, and due to the significant impact on industries such as semiconductors and automobiles if regulations were to be imposed, regulation in Europe is currently under consideration. This regulation is expected to be reduced in the future, and the compounds and applications subject to regulation have not yet been determined.
Some fluorochemical manufacturers have announced the discontinuation of their products; however, our products are currently not subject to regulation, so we do not plan to halt supply.
If you are facing difficulties due to the discontinuation of product supplies such as release agents or water and oil repellents, we can provide information, suggestions, and samples of alternative products. Please feel free to contact us.
