High-purity reference materials for accurate and reliable residue analysis

Overview

FRD-902, also known as ammonium (2,3,3,3-tetrafluoro-2-(heptafluoropropoxy)propanoate), is a synthetic petrochemical compound classified under per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs). It is utilized as part of the GenX process and plays a significant role in the manufacturing of fluoropolymers.

Uses

FRD-902 is primarily used as an aid in fluoropolymer manufacturing by reducing surface tension, which allows for the growth of polymer particles. The compound is subsequently removed through chemical treatment or heating and can be recovered for reuse.

Regulatory

FRD-902 is subject to various regulatory standards, particularly concerning its presence in drinking water. In 2020, Michigan adopted drinking water standards for several PFAS compounds, including FRD-902, with a maximum contaminant level (MCL) of 370 parts per trillion (ppt). In March 2023, the EPA announced additional drinking water standards for PFAS chemicals, including FRD-902.

Monitoring

Laboratories conducting food and environmental analysis must ensure compliance with regulatory limits for FRD-902. Accurate and reliable monitoring is essential for maintaining safety and meeting international quality requirements.

Health Impact

Human Toxicity

FRD-902 is associated with several health hazards. It is labeled with hazard statements H302 (harmful if swallowed), H314 (causes severe skin burns and eye damage), and H335 (may cause respiratory irritation).

Environmental Impact

Effects on Wildlife

FRD-902, like other PFAS compounds, is not biodegradable and does not hydrolyze in water, leading to potential long-term environmental persistence and bioaccumulation in wildlife.

Safety Measures

Proper handling and disposal of FRD-902 are crucial to minimize exposure and environmental contamination. Safety data sheets and appropriate labeling are essential for ensuring safe usage.

Analytical Standards

High-purity reference materials for FRD-902 are essential for laboratories to conduct precise residue analysis. These reference materials meet the highest industrial standards and are tested according to international quality requirements.
