01 Fluorosurfactants are synthetic organo-fluorine chemical compounds with multiple fluorine atoms. They are also referred to as fluorinated surfactants, perfluorinated alkylated substances, or PFASs. They may be fluorocarbon-based or polyfluorinated (perfluorinated). These surfactants are fluorinated surface-active agents that are very effective and efficient and are based on short perfluorinated chains. A wide range of water and solvent-borne systems, including detergents, paints, varnishes, inks, waxes, floor polishes, adhesives, batteries, and a variety of specialty applications, can benefit from their fast spreading, wetting, and leveling capabilities.
August 2025 Chemours signed strategic agreements with SRF Limited to strengthen its global manufacturing and supply chain for advanced fluorochemical products, expanding production capacity for high-value fluorinated materials.
July 2025 AGC launched new AFLAS™ fluoroelastomer grades manufactured without the use of surfactants or fluorinated polymerization solvents, introducing a proprietary surfactant-free production technology for fluorinated materials.
May 2025 Chemours entered a strategic manufacturing agreement with Navin Fluorine International to produce Opteon™ two-phase immersion cooling fluid, expanding manufacturing capacity for advanced fluorinated specialty chemicals.
