CAS 65530-74-7

Ethanol, 2,2'-iminobis-, compd. with α-fluoro-ω-[2-(phosphonooxy)ethyl]poly(difluoromethylene) (1:1)

This chemical is a fluorinated surfactant (PFAS-based) paired with diethanolamine. Data on this exact compound are limited; guidance reflects evidence on PFAS generally and on diethanolamine [1][4]. PFAS are used to repel water/grease but persist in the environment and some can harm health [1][2].

Where It Comes From

Industrial surfactants used in processes like coatings, cleaning, and firefighting foams; released from manufacturing, product use, and waste [2].

How You Are Exposed

Drinking water, food, indoor dust, and workplace air/skin contact during manufacture or use [1][2][3].

Why It Matters

PFAS can build up in people; some are linked to higher cholesterol, reduced vaccine response, liver and developmental effects, and certain cancers [1][2]. Diethanolamine can irritate skin and eyes [4].

Who Is at Risk

Workers handling PFAS (firefighting, industrial cleaning/finishing), people near contaminated sites or with PFAS in water, pregnant people and infants [1][3].

How to Lower Your Exposure

Check local water results; consider certified filters (activated carbon or reverse osmosis) if PFAS are present; follow fish advisories; reduce dust with wet cleaning; use PPE, ventilation, and hygiene at work [1][2][3][5].
