CAS 68867-60-7

2-Propenoic acid, 2-[[(heptadecafluorooctyl)sulfonyl]methylamino]ethyl ester, polymer with 2-[methyl[(nonafluorobutyl)sulfonyl]amino]ethyl 2-propenoate, 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 α-(1-oxo-2-propenyl)-ω-methoxypoly(oxy-1,2-ethanediyl)

This fluorinated acrylic polymer is a PFAS used to make fabrics, paper, and coatings resist water and oil. It matters because it can shed or break down into smaller PFAS that persist in the environment and may harm health [1][2].

Where It Comes From

Stain‑, water‑, and oil‑repellent treatments for textiles, carpets, upholstery, leather, paper/packaging, and some industrial coatings [2].

How You Are Exposed

Indoor dust from treated items; skin contact with treated fabrics; drinking water or food contaminated by PFAS; workplace air and surfaces during manufacturing or application [1][2].

Why It Matters

PFAS are very persistent; some breakdown products build up in people and are linked to immune effects, higher cholesterol, liver changes, developmental effects, and certain cancers (e.g., PFOA and kidney/testicular) [1][3][4].

Who Is at Risk

Workers handling PFAS; people near production sites or contaminated water; pregnant people, infants, and children; households with many stain‑resistant goods [1][2].

How to Lower Your Exposure

Choose PFAS‑free/untreated products; limit aftermarket “waterproofing” sprays; reduce dust with HEPA vacuuming and wet mopping; check water reports and use certified filters (activated carbon, ion‑exchange, or reverse osmosis) that reduce PFAS [1][2][5].
