Silane, (3,3,4,4,5,5,6,6,7,7,8,8,9,9,10,10,10-heptadecafluorodecyl)trimethoxy-

Used in water-, stain-, and grease‑repellent coatings for stone, glass, and treated fabrics; made and applied in industrial and consumer products [2].

Breathing or skin contact during manufacturing or application; indoor dust from treated goods; drinking water or food if PFAS migrate into the environment [1][2].

PFAS exposure has been linked to reduced vaccine response, higher cholesterol, and liver effects; some PFAS (e.g., PFOA) are carcinogenic [1][3][4].

Workers handling PFAS coatings; people who are pregnant, infants, and children; communities near PFAS production/uses or with contaminated drinking water [1][2].

Choose products without “PFAS,” “fluoro-,” or stain‑resistant claims; ventilate and use gloves/respirators when applying coatings; reduce indoor dust (HEPA vacuum, wet wiping); check local water; consider certified filters (reverse osmosis or activated carbon) shown to reduce PFAS [1][2][5].
