Does Coolube® 2210AL contain any perfluoroalkyl or polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS)?
Based on independent third party laboratory testing using EPA Method 1633, no PFAS were detected in Coolube® 2210AL for the specific compounds analyzed.
Background
Perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are a group of synthetic chemicals sometimes referred to as “forever chemicals” due to their persistence in the environment. Many customers request confirmation that products do not contain PFAS or that they are not present at detectable levels.
To address these concerns, Coolube® 2210AL was evaluated using a standardized analytical method developed by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency for detecting PFAS compounds at trace levels.
Test Method
Testing was conducted using EPA Method 1633, an analytical method used to measure PFAS compounds in various materials and environmental samples.
Test Results
• Test Method: EPA Method 1633
• Compounds Analyzed: 40 PFAS compounds identified by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
• Units of Measure: ng/g (parts per billion)
• Result: ND (None Detected) for all compounds tested
The analysis evaluated Coolube® 2210AL for the presence of the specified PFAS compounds using trace level detection methods.
Conclusion
Independent laboratory testing confirmed that no PFAS were detected in Coolube® 2210AL for the EPA defined PFAS compounds analyzed under EPA Method 1633. These results support Unist’s position that PFAS are not intentionally added to the product and are not present at detectable levels for the compounds tested.
