Perfluorohexanesulfonic
Perfluorohexanesulfonic acid, often abbreviated as PFHxS, is a perfluorinated carboxylic acid. It is a member of the perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) family, which are synthetic chemicals that have been widely used in various industrial applications due to their unique properties, such as resistance to heat, oil, and water, and their ability to repel water and grease. PFHxS is a colorless, odorless liquid that is highly stable and resistant to degradation.
PFHxS has been used in the production of surfactants, emulsifiers, and foaming agents, as well as in
The environmental impact of PFHxS is a significant concern, as it can accumulate in the food chain
