a. Fluororubber (FKM / FEPM) is used packing application which maintain sealing performance of washing semiconductor part in the process of manufacturing semiconductor. The annual use of fluororubber (FKM / FEPM) amount was about 30 tons, the amount of emmission was about 3 tons in 2022. b. FKM and FEPM are adopted by leading manufacturer of semiconductor equipment as the only material that has chemical resistance, heat resistance and compression resistance at the same time. c. We presume that semiconductor manufacturer will be affected if we cannot use FKM and FEPM. d.There are ACM and H-NBR as the alternative material in the market. However, these alternative materials has less performance in high temperature condition than FKM and FEPM. Thus, these alternative materials cannot alternate as this application. We will provide comparison data between non-PFAS materials (ACM / H-NBR) and PFAS materials (FKM / FEPM) in the section . e.We considered ACM and H-NBR as alternative materials of FKM and FEPM. However, ther are no alternative materials of FKM and FEPM. This is because performance of theses alternative materials isn't enough in heat resistance test, oil resistance test and compression. f.Currently, there is no alternative candidate material technologically and economically. g.The socioeconomy impact to company, consumer and other related people is expected enormous and seriousness affect in all fields which is using semiconductors.(Concretely, transportation measures such as automobile, railway and airplane.Communication device such as smartphone and computer.) As described above, the alternative materials of PFAS cannot be perfect alternative materials. In addition, it is difficult to alter FKM and FEPM in actual use. Thus, it should be excluded this proposed restriction instead of 12 years grace period. Section We support the statement made by FCJ on the issues of proposed restriction attached belo `compounds(PEAS) gether, nd thneo onwroqultons 1boconsiGredin re,eis ofeachsubstanceshouldbecuartatielyassessedand css, Hersate,werespectsubmitourviewson heproposedRestictnofPFASand erprssisconcurs thateticon would contraveneth alcadl Europeanand Internasoalnesand groemartsfor ho olowigreasons: 1.
