This report differentiates fluoropolymers from other PFAS of concern and provides justification for their exemption from the wider PFAS restriction based on the following six factors: WN. Fluoropolymers are safe . Fluoropolymers offer high socio-economic value . Fluoropolymers are irreplaceable . Fluoropolymers do not degrade under intended use conditions aU. Fluoropolymers can be disposed safely at their end of life . Majority of fluoropolymers can be manufactured responsibly without the use of fluorinated polymerization aids The attached report along with Fluoropolymer proportionality assessment detailing risk quantification and socio-economic analysis [EEE oy will be submitted to the Public Consultation. Please feel free to contact me in case of any questions. Kind regards, EOFREE We are committed to manufacture fluoropolymers without the use offluoro-surfactants. rr" TM 51.2e .1.2e GUJARAT FLUORQCHEMICALS a 2 INOIGFL Group Company rm oy CE BEd @:f.coin Es lanade 40, 9.
