Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are under unprecedented scrutiny as global regulations tighten and industries face mounting pressure to phase out these "forever chemicals." Known for their unique properties—such as oil resistance, thermal stability, and low surface tension—PFAS are integral to industries like electronics, coatings, and aerospace. However, their persistence in the environment and potential health risks have sparked a regulatory storm, with REACH, EPA, and other agencies expanding restrictions. This evolving landscape demands innovative solutions. How can industries maintain performance while transitioning to safer alternatives? What are the trade-offs in substituting PFAS in high-tech applications? From non-targeted analytical challenges to anticipating substance-group bans, the complexities are vast. This deep-dive explores cutting-edge strategies for reformulation, compliance, and future-proofing chemical portfolios. Whether you're navigating regulatory hurdles, exploring fluorosilicone hybrids, or designing PFAS-free claims, the path forward requires a blend of advanced chemistry, toxicology insights, and collaborative innovation. Discover how to stay ahead in a world where PFAS-free isn’t just a goal—it’s a necessity.
This must have training will give you the technical clarity and strategic direction you need to manage PFAS phase-out with confidence — from reformulation to compliance and beyond. It will also help you to;
1. Stay Ahead of Global Bans: Learn exactly how upcoming PFAS restrictions will impact your products and what steps to take now to stay compliant and avoid supply chain disruption.
2. Find Real Alternatives That Work: Discover proven, field-tested PFAS replacements across coatings, electronics, and more — with a focus on maintaining performance, not just meeting regulations.
3. Avoid False “PFAS-Free” Claims: Understand where hidden PFAS can still exist in your formulas and how to use the right test methods and documentation to back up your claims.
4. Future-Proof Your Formulations: Build smarter, regulation-proof product strategies by aligning R&D, regulatory, and sustainability goals from the start — not as an afterthought.
This is highly recommended and must have training for chemical industry professionals engaged in diverse application/formulation areas; in particular:
- R&D Scientists & Formulators
- Technical Managers (Coatings, Electronics, Aerospace, Textiles etc.)
- Regulatory professionals and compliance leads
- Sustainability managers and ESG strategists
- OEMs, innovation leaders, BD teams, and startups
