Perfluorinated alkyl substances (PFAS) and perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) are known as "forever chemicals" due to the extreme stability of their carbon-fluorine bonds, which renders them nearly non-biodegradable in natural environments. As persistent organic pollutants, they accumulate indefinitely. Numerous studies indicate that PFAS and PFOA may cause immune dysfunction, liver damage, and are even linked to certain cancers. Governments worldwide are therefore advancing regulations targeting PFAS/PFOA to safeguard public health and the environment.
Riebom is committed to providing fluorine-free solutions for the industry. The Repazole® PBI product family contains no fluorine atoms in its molecular structure, and no PFAS or PFOA substances are added at any stage of production. Rigorous testing ensures our products are 100% fluorine-free and compliant with environmental regulations across regions — so our customers' products and applications remain free from any concerns.
