CAS 150135-57-2

2-Propenoic acid, 2-methyl-, 2-(dimethylamino)ethyl ester, polymers with Bu acrylate, γ-ω-perfluoro-C8-14-alkyl acrylate and polyethylene glycol monomethacrylate, 2,2'-azobis[2,4-dimethylpentanenitrile]-initiated

This is a fluorinated acrylic polymer used to make fabrics, carpets, and paper resist water and oil. While the polymer is large, it can include or break down into PFAS, a family of persistent chemicals linked to health concerns [1][2].

Where It Comes From

Stain-, water-, and grease‑repellent finishes for textiles, leather, carpets, and paper/packaging; made in fluorochemical manufacturing [2].

How You Are Exposed

Using or wearing treated items; indoor dust and air where finishes are applied or heated; drinking water near production/waste sites; workplace handling [1][2].

Why It Matters

Some PFAS (e.g., PFOA, PFOS) are linked to higher cholesterol, reduced vaccine response, developmental effects, and certain cancers; IARC classifies PFOA as carcinogenic to humans [1][3].

Who Is at Risk

Workers applying/spraying finishes; communities near PFAS facilities; pregnant people, infants and children (hand‑to‑mouth dust) [1][2].

How to Lower Your Exposure

Choose PFAS‑free/untreated products; avoid aftermarket stain‑proofers; ventilate during use; clean with a HEPA vacuum and wet dusting; check local water and use certified PFAS‑reducing filters (activated carbon or reverse osmosis) if needed [2][4].
