fluorotelomer
Sign in to saveAlso known as FT
Fluorotelomers are fluorocarbon-based oligomers, or telomers, synthesized by telomerization. Some fluorotelomers and fluorotelomer-based compounds are a source of environmentally persistent perfluorinated carboxylic acids such as PFOA and PFNA, while others are under extended investigation.

Fluorotelomers are fluorocarbon-based oligomers, or telomers, synthesized by telomerization. Some fluorotelomers and fluorotelomer-based compounds are a source of environmentally persistent perfluorinated carboxylic acids such as PFOA and PFNA, while others are under extended investigation.
==Types== There are many broad categories of fluorotelomers: Fluorotelomer alcohols (FTOH) Fluorotelomer ethoxylates (FTEO) Fluorotelomer fumarates Fluorotelomer methacrylates (FTMAC) Fluorotelomer sulphonates (FTS)
