What is PFAS ?

Environmental and Health Impacts of PFAS

1. Environmental Impact: Due to their stability, PFAS can contaminate water sources and are difficult to remove once present. 
2. Health Impact: Exposure to PFAS has been linked to various health issues, including: 

• Cancer
• Reproductive problems 
• Immune system impairments 
• Liver and kidney damage 

Products containing PFAS can release these substances throughout their life cycle, leading to widespread environmental and health risks.

PFAS-Free vs. PFAS-Containing

While our focus is on PFAS-Free solutions, we also recognize the necessity of PFAS-Containing materials in certain critical applications. Materials such as PTFE and PVDF, categorized as fluoropolymers, are indispensable due to their exceptional thermal, chemical, and weather resistance, as well as their non-wetting properties. These fluoropolymers are vital in industries with stringent health or safety requirements, often acting as the primary defense against life-threatening situations caused by equipment failure. At Porex, we are committed to providing these essential materials while continuing to innovate and prioritize safer, PFAS-Free alternatives wherever possible.
