forever chemicals
disrupted by
biology
our modern society
is built on
fluorinated materials
Incorporating Fluorine Atoms...
...into the molecular structure of certain polymers, enhances their properties and transforms them into a class of high-performance materials with advanced properties known as Perfluoroalkyl and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances or for short PFAS. Due to their long life cycle, PFAS are also ofter referred to as "forever chemicals".

PFAS
can be found in countless materials and products throughout various industries and are...
PFAS
are known for their exceptional properties...
Heat Resistant
Withstands extreme temperatures
Water Repellent
Excellent hydrophobic properties
Chemical Resistant
Resists harsh chemicals and solvents
Durable
Long-lasting material properties
Long-lived
Exceptional stability over time
Low Friction
Superior non-stick properties
...and many more unique characteristics that make them valuable in various applications
However...
these special properties also make them nearly impossible to degrade and highly toxic. Over time, PFAS accumulate in the environment and pose a threat to public health and the environment itself.
