Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) have posed major concern to industries and public due to their persistence in the environment and potential health risks. As regulatory bodies implement stricter controls on the use of PFAS, industries are seeking safer alternatives.

Clariant's innovative product portfolio features groundbreaking PFAS-free solutions such as Ceridust 8170 M, a Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE)-free texturing agent for powder coatings that offers superior performance with lower energy usage compared to PTFE containing products.

Additionally, the newly launched AddWorks PPA line of polymer processing aids enables melt fracture control, efficient extrusion and optimal film quality, while meeting the need for more environmentally sustainable additives and ensuring compliance with stringent environmental regulations in this application area.

“By eliminating PFAS, we are not just addressing current regulations but also anticipating future needs in the industry, ensuring that our customers stay competitive and responsible,” said Miao Zhigang, Global Vice President Segment Polymer Solutions at Clariant.

Clariant is consistently expanding its portfolio of sustainable innovations, with more PFAS-free products and impactful initiatives designed to drive meaningful engagement with customers.
