Fluoropolymers
– Chemical Detection in the Fluoropolymer Industry
Filling a Gap in Chemical Detection
Leading PTFE manufacturers worldwide have safety top of mind. Fluoropolymers are essential in various advanced applications, including but not limited to electronics, medical and aerospace as well as household use in non-stick cooking. However, the production process involves potentially toxic chemicals, posing safety challenges that demand rigorous attention. The PTFE industry is making essential contributions to modern technology, while maintaining focus on safety. From handling toxic chemical substances to managing high-temperature processes, workers face various potential hazards in the manufacturing process including chemical byproducts. A robust safety focus is critical to protect employees from chemical exposures and ensure a safe working environment. Perfluoroisobutylene or PFIB is a significant byproduct of the manufacture of fluoropolymers, tetrafluoroethylene and hexafluoropropylene. PFIB exposure can lead to serious health issues and even death making its detection critical. In collaboration with a leading PFTE producer, Morphix Technologies developed the SafeAir PFIB badge – the only badge currently available to detect PFIB.

Perfluoroisobutylene (PFIB)
PFIB is a significant byproduct of the fluoropolymer industry. It is also used as etching material for the semiconductor fabrication and synthesis of polymeric materials industry. The applications for fluoropolymers continue to grow and it is imperative that these workers in these plants and production facilities are protected against the potential risk of PFIB exposure. The SafeAir PFIB badge is the only badge available for the detection of this hazardous chemical. SafeAir PFIB badges help to ensure employee safety.
