应对PFAS问题的
可持续替代方案

围绕PFAS的安全问题目前已经引发了全球行动。英国、欧盟和美国的监管机构正在提议在一些少数关键应用领域中禁止或限制 PFAS 物质。使用这些产品的制造商正在寻找更安全但同时又不影响产品性能的替代材料。

全氟烷基和多氟烷基化学品（或称 PFAS）被用于数以百万计的日常用品中。这些物质以耐热、耐油、耐污和耐水而闻名，在科技服装、不粘锅、食品包装等产品中无处不在。它们被认为是 "永恒的化学品"，在环境中的持久性构成了重大风险。PFAS 包括 PFOA（全氟辛酸）和 PFOS（全氟辛烷磺酸）等化合物，它们不会分解，有可能污染我们的食物和水，从而导致肝损伤、甲状腺疾病、肥胖、生育问题和癌症等健康危害¹。

*PFAS (Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) have not been intentionally added, used, or generated as by-products in the manufacturing process of unfilled Victrex PEEK and PAEK polymers. In addition, Independent third party laboratory analysis on representative product samples has confirmed that Perfluoroalkyl substances (including PFOA, PFHxS, PFCA’s C9-C14) are not detectable in Victrex products down to test detection limits. A small number of Victrex products contain PTFE (a fluoropolymer, part of the PFAS family of substances) as an additive – these are manufactured by third party companies which comply with the PFOA restrictions of the POPs regulation (EU 2019/1021).
