- Confirmation letter from coating producer
No PFAS (including fluoropolymers) intentionally added - Target analysis of low molecular weight PFAS (LC/GC MS/MS-Nachweis von Einzelstoffen)
< 25 ppb single PFAS substance
< 250 ppb sum of measured PFAS - Total organic fluorine test (TOF) (organisch gebundene Fluorverbindungen sind nicht vollständig getrennt von Anorganischen nachweisbar)
< 50 mg F/kg (ppm)
If more than 50 mg F/kg (ppm) are found please follow point 4 - Coating supplier fluorine origin assessment
Of non-PFAS fluorine sources in the coating, as minerals, mica, pigments
The order is based on our experience and is only a recommendation.
