Perfluorooctanoic Acid (PFOA) and Perfluorooctane Sulfonate (PFOS) Analysis

Perfluorooctanoic Acid (PFOA) and Perfluorooctane Sulfonate (PFOS) Analysis provides information about the various chemicals and helps protect human health and the environment. It aids in avoiding costly issues and product failures by imposing proper standards for routine checks. The product’s durability and reliability are checked and improved to meet the customer’s needs. This act provides the basis for the effective regulation of processing and manufacturing industries. It aids in meeting the demands of the production industry and in maintaining a balance in the global market. It covers the certification, manufacturing, processing, distribution, application, and disposal of various chemicals.  

Advantages of PFOA and PFOS Analysis :

Perfluorooctanoic Acid (PFOA) and Perfluorooctane Sulfonate (PFOS) Analysis help various industries in meeting the globally accepted standards of safety by providing a set of rules.  It provides details about the effective use of various materials along with the enhancement in the optimization and functionality of various products. From the raw material production, and handling, to manufacturing, delivery, and application of the product, these techniques cover material testing, purity determination, product-care, screening, toxicity detection, risk factors identification, and detection of possible hazards. 

Intervention:

PFOS is applicable in chromium plating, hydraulic and pesticides, whereas PFOA is used in polishes, photolithography, fire fighting equipment and to enhance the resistance of grease, oil, and water in the case of textiles and paper. EU Directive 2006/122/ECOF imposes certain restrictions on the application of PFOS and limits its quantity in various products. It also declares PFOA equally risky as PFOS.

PFOA and PFOS Analysis offer a wide range of protection and quality control services that help the industries in protecting their reputation and brand with minimum input of time and effort.
