CAS 65636-35-3

Ethanaminium, N,N-diethyl-N-methyl-2-[(2-methyl-1-oxo-2-propenyl)oxy]-, methyl sulfate, polymer with 2-ethylhexyl 2-methyl-2-propenoate, α-fluoro-ω-[2-[(2-methyl-1-oxo-2-propenyl)oxy]ethyl]poly(difluoromethylene), 2-hydroxyethyl 2-methyl-2-propenoate and N-(hydroxymethyl)-2-propenamide

This is a fluorinated acrylic copolymer used to make fabrics, paper, and coatings repel water and oil. Main concerns are leftover acrylate monomers and the potential for PFAS to form or be released as products wear, which can persist in the environment and affect health [1][2][4].

Where It Comes From

Production and use of stain-, grease-, and water‑repellent treatments for textiles, carpets, leather, paper, and some paints/inks [2].

How You Are Exposed

Indoor dust from treated products, skin contact with coated items, breathing spray during application, and PFAS in drinking water near manufacturing or waste sites [1][2].

Why It Matters

Side‑chain fluorinated polymers can degrade to perfluoroalkyl acids; PFAS are linked to effects on the immune system, liver, cholesterol, and development [1][2][4]. Unreacted acrylate monomers can irritate eyes, skin, and airways [3].

Who Is at Risk

Workers who make or apply these coatings; households with many stain‑resistant goods; children (dust exposure); and people who are pregnant [1][2].

How to Lower Your Exposure

Choose fluorine‑free/PFAS‑free products; ventilate and follow labels during use; HEPA‑vacuum and wet‑mop dust; frequent handwashing; check local water and consider certified filters for PFAS [1][2].
