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

Manufactured for thin, nonstick surface treatments (electronics/MEMS, optics, molds, labware) and applied by vapor or spray processes [3].

Mainly at work during handling, mixing, deposition, cleanup, or spills; small amounts may off-gas from freshly treated items [3][2].

Moisture contact can release HCl that burns eyes/skin and irritates lungs; PFAS can persist, build up, and some have been linked to immune, cholesterol, and cancer outcomes [3][1][4][2].

Workers in coating/electronics plants; contractors applying coatings; people near production sites; pregnant people, infants, and those with asthma or poor ventilation [1][2][3].

At work: closed systems, local exhaust, acid-resistant gloves/goggles, HCl monitoring, spill kits, training [3][5]. At home: choose PFAS-free options, avoid DIY sprays, ventilate, keep coated items intact, follow disposal guidance [2][1].
