Synthesis report on understanding Perfluoropolyethers (PFPEs) and their life cycle

OECD Series on Risk Management of Chemicals

The OECD assists countries in developing methodologies for both governments and industry to manage risks posed by chemicals and, when appropriate, to harmonise risk management activities on particular chemicals. This includes regulatory, non-regulatory and economic approaches and the associated tools, information and guidance. Sustainable chemistry, alternative assessment and substitution are also included.

Synthesis report on understanding Perfluoropolyethers (PFPEs) and their life cycle

This report presents a synthesis of publicly available information on perfluoropolyethers (PFPEs), with the aim of elucidating the identities of PFPEs on the global market and analysing their life cycle. This includes their production and use, presence of other PFASs as impurities in commercial formulations, degradation mechanisms, and environmental releases of PFPEs and other PFASs present in commercial formulations.
