Did you know that in industries such as lubricants, food processing equipment, and electronics, there is a group of chemicals known as PFAS (Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances) that are widely used for their high-temperature resistance and corrosion resistance properties? However, as environmental regulations become increasingly stringent, these substances have been found to pose potential threats to both the environment and human health. Many customers now require lubricants to provide testing reports confirming they are free of PFAS.
PFAS, which stands for Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances, is a class of chemicals made up of carbon-fluorine bonds. Due to their high stability, PFAS are widely used in various industries such as lubricants, waterproof coatings, and food packaging. This chemical stability has earned PFAS the nickname "forever chemicals," as once they enter the environment or the human body, they are almost impossible to break down naturally.
Scientific research has shown that PFAS may be linked to health issues such as increased cancer risk, immune system suppression, and endocrine disruption. As a result, many countries and regions (such as the EU and the US) have begun to impose strict limitations on the use of PFAS and require products to provide proof that they do not contain PFAS.
Why Do Lubricants Need PFAS-Free Reports?
Globally, environmental agencies such as the EU’s REACH regulations and the US EPA have imposed strict restrictions on the use of PFAS. If a lubricant product contains PFAS, it could face export restrictions, product recalls, and other risks. Providing a PFAS-free report ensures that the product complies with these regulatory requirements and can smoothly enter international markets.
