吉田ＳＫＴ
Fluororesins, widely used in manufacturing sites, possess excellent properties such as low friction and non-stick characteristics, but they are classified as a type of "PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances)." Currently, only certain PFAS substances that raise concerns about their impact on the environment and health are regulated in Japan, while in the EU, discussions are underway to expand the scope of regulation. Therefore, companies need to keep track of overseas regulatory trends and alternative technologies to continuously assess their impact on their products. In light of this background, Yoshida SKT is offering a free document titled "PFAS Countermeasures Guide for the Manufacturing Industry," which summarizes the latest trends and alternative technologies as of January 2025. This guidebook clearly explains the definition of PFAS, the regulatory situation both domestically and internationally, and provides comparative tables detailing the structures, properties, and toxicity differences of representative substances such as PTFE, PFOS, and PFOA. Additionally, it specifically introduces alternative coating technologies that do not use PFAS. For more details, please check the product page.
