In the context of the upcoming restriction of PFAS, there appears to be significant confusion concerning the most relevant sectors where fluoropolymers are used. This paper intends to clarify that fluoropolymers are used mainly in industrial sectors of high value to society. The outstanding combination of properties that fluoropolymers exhibit makes them extremely valuable materials in a wide variety of applications. While there have been some historic uses in consumer applications, these uses are currently anecdotic, particularly for those linked to very dispersive uses (which excludes use in cookware), and represent a minute proportion of the overall uses when compared to industrial applications, where fluoropolymers’ outstanding properties are capitalized on. Fluoropolymers contribute decisively to the progress and well-being of society in five key areas: safety & well-being, environment and circularity, decarbonization, performance and comfort, being the latter the only one that can be attributed to dispersive consumer applications.
