New Website Highlighting Benefits of Fluorinated Chemistries

FluoroCouncil, which represents the world’s leading manufacturers of fluorinated chemistries, unveiled a new website today that the group says will serve as a useful resource for those interested in information on the benefits and safety of these chemistries.

“The new website tells the story of this diverse group of chemicals, including the fact that they can be used safely and are an important part of modern life,” said Jessica Bowman, executive director of the FluoroCouncil.

Fluorinated chemicals, specifically per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), represent a diverse class of chemistries characterized by the strong bond between fluorine and carbon. The website explains the different types of fluorinated chemicals and the many roles they play in products. Indeed, PFAS enables a variety of products that industry and consumers rely on every day, from cell phones and fuel efficient cars to solar panels and stain resistant furniture.
