LONG-CHAIN PERFLUORINATED COMPOUNDS (PFC)
Primary Associated CAS RN: 86508-42-1
Pharos Material ID: CMG10067
Description: Long-chain is variously defined as those with carbon chains of anywhere from 5 or more to 8 or more. The OECD Portal on Perfluorinated compounds defines it as follows:
"Long-chain perfluorinated compounds” refers to:
-
Perfluorocarboxylic acids with carbon chain lengths C8 and higher, including perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA);
- Perfluoroalkyl sulfonates with carbon chain lengths C6 and higher,
including perfluorohexane sulfonic acid (PFHxS) and perfluorooctane
sulfonate (PFOS); and
- Precursors of these substances that may be produced or present in products.
