Elimination of PFAs in Additives by end 2024

12 5, 2024 Corporate
Alpharetta, GA. – Dec 4, 2024. allnex, a global leader in industrial coating resins and additives, is reaffirming the commitment made previously to remove PFAS in their Additives products by the end of 2024.

The program - started over 18 months ago - has been working with global customers to design replacement and reformulation strategies. As proof to allnex' commitment to Sustainability we are proud to say we have achieved our target ahead of schedule!
 
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are a group of manmade chemicals used since the 1950’s that are resistant to oil, water, and heat and don’t break down easily in the environment. They are prevalent in many consumer and industrial products including carpeting, waterproof clothing, food packaging, personal care products, fire-fighting foams, metal plating, paints, cleaning products, microelectronics, batteries and  many other products. 
 
“I would like to take the opportunity to thank our technical, commercial, project management teams and especially our customers for making this goal a reality,” says Tim Kittler, Global Marketing, Growth Platforms. “While we expect continued regulatory pressure on the use of PFAS containing materials it was important to us to be proactive and  to do our part to remove them as soon as possible from the environment.”
