The growing awareness of the global PFAS pollution crisis has triggered both increased customer requirements as well as regulatory proposals to restrict the use of PFAS in products and processes.
Most notably, the EU has presented a proposal for a universal ban on all PFAS in all products with regulations such as:
- REACH Annex XVII (Entry 68) on C9-C14 PFCAs
- POPs Regulation: update of PFHxS effective August 28, 2023
In the United States, legislative updates and proposals are ongoing, such as:
- Federal Level:
- Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) proposes requirement to report the use of PFAS in all products of the past 10 years
- State Level:
- Maine: Reporting requirements of PFAS in all products apply from 2025
- Minnesota and Oregon prohibit PFAS in cookware from 2025
- Others Stipulating reporting rules and prohibition of PFAS in articles
The electronics industry is one key sector where PFAS are used in a variety of applications, such as protective coating in various parts like PCB, LCD etc., dielectric films and liquid impregnates in capacitors and resistors. PFAS is also commonly found in wiring and cables, batteries, moving parts in EEE. One challenge for many companies operating in the sector is to understand where and why PFAS are being used in their own processes and products.
