2-Propenoic acid, 2-methyl-, 3,3,4,4,5,5,6,6,7,7,8,8,9,9,10,10,10-heptadecafluorodecyl ester

Made for use in protective coatings, sealants, and treatments that add water/oil repellency to consumer and industrial products [2].

Breathing vapors or dust during manufacturing or application; contact with freshly treated surfaces; PFAS in indoor dust; and PFAS that can form in the environment from related fluorinated coatings [1][2].

PFAS exposure is linked to higher cholesterol, effects on the immune system (including reduced vaccine response), and some thyroid, liver, and developmental effects [1]. Acrylate/methacrylate monomers can also irritate skin, eyes, and airways and may trigger allergic asthma or dermatitis in workers [3].

Workers making or applying coatings; people in recently treated spaces; young children who ingest dust; communities near facilities using PFAS [1][2].

Choose PFAS‑free products; ventilate during/after application and follow label PPE; clean with HEPA vacuuming and wet mopping; wash hands before eating; for water concerns, consider certified activated carbon or reverse osmosis treatment for PFAS [1][2].
