CAS 67584-57-0

2-Propenoic acid, 2-[methyl[(tridecafluorohexyl)sulfonyl]amino]ethyl ester

This fluorinated acrylate is part of the PFAS family, used to make stain- and water‑repellent coatings for textiles, paper, and paints. It matters because PFAS persist in the environment, can build up in people, and some precursors can transform into other PFAS of health concern [1][2].

Where It Comes From

Made for surface‑treatment coatings and adhesives; can be present in treated goods and industrial emissions [1][2].

How You Are Exposed

Contact with treated textiles/carpets and food‑contact paper, indoor dust, contaminated drinking water near PFAS facilities, and workplace air/skin exposure during production or application [1][2].

Why It Matters

PFAS are very persistent; some precursors can degrade to perfluorohexane sulfonic acid (PFHxS), which has a long half‑life. PFAS exposure has been linked to higher cholesterol, immune effects, liver and thyroid changes, and developmental effects; PFOA (a related PFAS) is carcinogenic to humans [1][3][4].

Who Is at Risk

PFAS manufacturing and textile/paper finishing workers; people using stain‑resistant carpets/upholstery; communities with PFAS‑impacted water; pregnant people, infants, and children [1][2].

How to Lower Your Exposure

Choose PFAS‑free products; vacuum with a HEPA filter and wet‑dust; wash hands before eating; check your water report and consider certified activated carbon or reverse‑osmosis filters for PFAS; follow workplace safety guidance [1][2][3].
