PFAS and fluorine-free alternatives in lubricants and construction products
The aim of this project was to assess the use of PFAS-based lubricants and construction products along with any fluorine-free alternatives. Additionally, data on
emissions, economics and social impacts of a full ban of all PFAS within these sectors have been evaluated.
This report goes beyond the Universal PFAS restriction proposal and the content of
the Annex XV restriction dossier as it provides more granular data on substance
identification, technical description of uses and emissions (broken down by multiple
environmental compartments). This recognises that the Annex XV dossier covers all
potential uses of PFASs and thus through necessity works to a higher level of disaggregation.
