PFAS are used to make fluoropolymer coatings and products that resist water, dirt, oil, heat, stains and grease. They can be found in many products, including textiles, food packaging, cookware, cosmetics, paint, pesticides and electronics.
The broad usage of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), and the health impacts increasingly associated with long-term contact, makes it important to reduce the exposure of humans and the environment to these toxic substances. Within the last several years, new global and regional chemical regulations have been introduced to control and eliminate the use of PFAS for specific applications.
PFAS-free regulations are being implemented, especially in the U.S. and in the European Union.
UL Solutions has recently designed a method to evaluate and showcase non-PFAS materials. UL Standards & Engagement is pleased to announce the publication of UL 746G – An Outline of Investigation for Non-Fluorine and Non-PFAS containing materials. This outline defines the requirements for an optional non-fluorine or non-PFAS rating for plastic materials. Materials that are found to comply with these requirements will then be searchable and have the rating published with the UL Recognized Component Mark in our UL Solutions Yellow Card™ program under QMFZ2 (Plastics - Component).
Join our webinar to learn about:
- Current PFAS regulatory actions across the world
- How UL 746, the Standard for Polymeric Materials — Use in Electrical Equipment Evaluations, defines non-fluorine and non-PFAS containing materials
- The benefits of obtaining non-PFAS ratings in our Yellow Card program
