CAS 68227-96-3

2-Propenoic acid, butyl ester, telomer with 2-[[(heptadecafluorooctyl)sulfonyl]methylamino]ethyl 2-propenoate, 2-[methyl[(nonafluorobutyl)sulfonyl]amino]ethyl 2-propenoate, α-(2-methyl-1-oxo-2-propenyl)-ω-hydroxypoly(oxy-1,4-butanediyl), α-(2-methyl-1-oxo-2-propenyl)-ω-[(2-methyl-1-oxo-2-propenyl)oxy]poly(oxy-1,4-butanediyl), 2-[methyl[(pentadecafluoroheptyl)sulfonyl]amino]ethyl 2-propenoate, 2-[methyl[(tridecafluorohexyl)sulfonyl]amino]ethyl 2-propenoate, 2-[methyl[(undecafluoropentyl)sulfonyl]amino]ethyl 2-propenoate and 1-octanethiol

This is a fluorinated acrylate “PFAS-related” coating mixture used to make fabrics, paper, and paints resist water, oil, and stains. It can degrade to persistent PFAS (like PFOA/PFNA), which raise health concerns [1][2].

Where It Comes From

Manufactured for stain- and water-repellent treatments on textiles, leather, carpets, paper, and coatings; small amounts can release during making, use, and waste disposal [1][2].

How You Are Exposed

Contact with treated products, indoor dust, contaminated drinking water or food, and workplace use in textile/chemical plants [1][2].

Why It Matters

Some PFAS are linked to higher cholesterol, reduced vaccine response, developmental and liver effects, and certain cancers; PFOA is classified carcinogenic to humans [1][3][5].

Who Is at Risk

Workers who make or apply these coatings; people with many stain-resistant items at home; communities with PFAS-contaminated water; pregnant people, infants, and children [1][2].

How to Lower Your Exposure

Choose PFAS-free/untreated products; skip optional stain-resistant add-ons; reduce dust with HEPA vacuuming and wet mopping; check local water; consider activated carbon or reverse-osmosis filters certified to reduce PFAS [2][4].
