The OECD broadly defines PFAS as encompassing around 5,000-10,000 unique chemicals, including PFOA and PFOS. The applications of different PFAS chemicals are nearly as broad as the chemical family itself. Depending on the specific chemical, PFAS can confer helpful properties such as oil and water repellence, ionic conductivity, etc., making it applicable in many important areas, including semiconductor manufacturing and firefighting foams.

By Sona Dadhania, Senior Technology Analyst at IDTechEx.The presence of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in global drinking water sources is raising huge concern, as evidence of negative health and environmental effects grow. The problem can’t be ignored in the hope that time alleviates the issue, as PFAS’ two characteristic properties are persistent and bioaccumulative.

2024 has been an interesting year for the global additive manufacturing (AM) market. On one hand, prominent exits, such as BASF, and notable bankruptcies, such as Shapeways, paints a concerning picture for the future of the 3D printing industry. On the other hand, new players like Bambu Lab are emerging as major success stories in what many thought was a saturated market.

"Forever chemicals", the colloquial term for the chemical family of PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances), are now at the center of global regulatory changes due to their persistence in the environment and their potential for harmful health effects. With many pathways for PFAS to contaminate the environment, different stakeholders such as governments, industrial manufacturers, and the public alike are looking for technologies to permanently remove PFAS from the environment.
