Perfluorooctane sulfonate

Perfluorooctane sulfonate (called PFOS), is the category containing surfactant, in addition to extensive used in the production of textiles, leather products, furniture and carpets and other products, are also used to paint additives, adhesives, Medical products, fire retardants, oil and mining products, pesticides and other products.

 

The European Commission on December 5, 2005 issued on the Limitation of perfluorooctane sulfonate official directive 2005/0244 (COD), that is, 76/769 / EEC directive amendment.

For this reason I laboratory for the large number of enterprises through the provision of PFOS detection technology services projects, and actively help China's textile export enterprises deal with the technical barriers to trade, professional information and give full play to advantages and technological advantages, closely tracking the timely collection of PFOS detection technology and testing standards To help companies avoid risks.
