High-purity reference materials for accurate and reliable residue analysis of FRD-903.

Overview

FRD-903, also known as hexafluoropropylene oxide dimer acid (HFPO-DA) and 2,3,3,3-tetrafluoro-2-(heptafluoropropoxy)propanoic acid, is a synthetic petrochemical belonging to the class of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs). It is specifically classified as a perfluoroalkyl ether carboxylic acid (PFECA) and a fluorointermediate.

FRD-903 is not biodegradable and is not hydrolyzed by water, making it persistent in the environment.

Uses

FRD-903 is primarily used as a processing aid in the manufacture of fluoropolymers. It reduces surface tension during the polymerization process, allowing polymer particles to increase in size. The compound is removed from the final product through chemical treatment or heating and can be recovered for reuse.

Regulatory

In 2020, Michigan adopted drinking water standards for five previously unregulated PFAS compounds, including HFPO-DA, with a maximum contaminant level (MCL) of 370 parts per trillion (ppt). In March 2023, the EPA announced drinking water standards for several PFAS chemicals, including FRD-903.

Monitoring

Monitoring of FRD-903 in environmental and food samples is crucial for ensuring compliance with regulatory limits. Laboratories conducting such analyses require high-purity reference materials to achieve accurate and reliable results.

Health Impact

Human Toxicity

FRD-903 exhibits several health hazards as indicated by its GHS labeling. The hazard statements include H302 (harmful if swallowed), H314 (causes severe skin burns and eye damage), and H335 (may cause respiratory irritation).

Environmental Impact

Effects on Wildlife

Due to its persistence and non-biodegradable nature, FRD-903 can accumulate in the environment, potentially affecting wildlife. Its impact on ecosystems and various species is a subject of ongoing research.

Safety Measures

Proper safety measures should be implemented when handling FRD-903, including the use of personal protective equipment (PPE) and adherence to safety data sheets (SDS) guidelines. The compound has a flash point of 60°C, indicating a need for careful handling and storage.

Regulation

Regulatory bodies are increasingly setting limits for PFAS compounds in drinking water and other environmental matrices. Compliance with these regulations is essential for public health and environmental protection.
