2-Propenoic acid, 2-methyl-, dodecyl ester, polymer with α-fluoro-ω-[2-[(2-methyl-1-oxo-2-propen-1-yl)oxy]ethyl]poly(difluoromethylene) and N-(hydroxymethyl)-2-propenamide

Repellent finishes for textiles/leather, paper and food packaging, sealants, and paints/coatings [2][3].

Contact with treated items, indoor dust/air, food-contact papers, drinking water near manufacturing or waste sites; workers may be exposed during production or application [1][2][3].

The large polymer itself has low volatility, but it can contain or degrade into smaller PFAS. PFAS exposure has been linked to immune effects, higher cholesterol, liver changes, and some cancers [1][2][3].

Workers handling PFAS-based coatings; infants and toddlers (dust), pregnant people; communities near PFAS facilities or contaminated water [1][2].

Choose PFAS-free/“fluorine-free” products; reduce dust with HEPA vacuuming and damp dusting; wash new treated textiles before use; avoid using grease-resistant paper for hot/oily foods; use certified filters (activated carbon or reverse osmosis) if PFAS are in your water [1][2].
