Siloxanes: Viable Alternatives for PFAS in Essential Applications?

EDErin Marion Donahue-BoyleMNMitchell NascimentoMKMélanie Kah

Key Points

  • To evaluate the viability of siloxanes as safer alternatives to PFAS in critical applications.
  • Investigated thermal and chemical properties of siloxanes
  • Compared performance metrics with PFAS
  • Assessed regulatory implications for applications
  • Siloxanes demonstrated comparable thermal and chemical stability to PFAS
  • Significant reduction in environmental impact identified
  • Potential for broader application in industries without PFAS restrictions

Abstract

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are highly valued for their thermal and chemical stability, oil and water repellency, and fire-suppression capabilities. However, they are increasingly being regulated because of their...
