Into the Future with Hydrogen-- Electrifying and Sustainable Green hydrogen is considered a source of hope in the decarbonization of industry and heavyduty vehicles.

Introduction Despite concluding that there was an unclear substitution potential for electronics, the Dossier Submitters decided not to put the industry forward for derogations regarding the proposed PFAS Restriction.

Chemical Compatibility Reference Chart Polyethylene / LDPE / HDPE The chemical compatibility of LDPE and HDPE on this chart is tested at 20C and 50C for 7 days and 30 days (if applicable) with constant exposure.

Alternatives listed in PFAS Annex E and reasons for non-replacement Application a) Sealing b) Wire insulation c) Immersion cooling Heat transfer fluid d) liquid crystal displays (LCD) PFAS Non-PFAS alternatives fluoroelastomers Ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM) silicone rubbers PTFE, PFA, ETFE, FEP, Silicone materials FEPM, PFPE Polyetheretherketone(PEEK) mica EPDM Polyvinyl chloride ceramic based polymer Hydrofluoroethers Fluorinated amines -CF3 group Mineral oils synthetic oils natural oils Hydrocarbon fluids Cyano (-CN) group Reasons why PFAS cannot be replaced by non-PFAS In sealing material applications (e.g. packing), heat resistance, solvent resistance and low gas permeability are important, and EPDM and silicone rubber provide low or medium durability but not enough property, so they cannot replace all applications and fluorinated materials must be used.
