- hammock 3y agoThat's incorrect. The voluntary phase-out covers all PFAS inclusive of shorter-chain molecules. The most likely replacement are food-grade silicone alternatives. Silicone alternatives are also being used in waterproofing rain jackets, etc. (see Patagonia for example, who started by using C6, shorter chain PFAS, instead of C8, but now has switched to PFAS-free)
