Abstract
Fluorochemicals have its applications in many fields, as in firefighting, electroplating and electronics industries. A number of novel approaches using fluorochemicals in textile processing are a portent area for better marketing of textile goods. Value added finishing of textiles is a new development in textiles processing and these fluorochemical finishes impart water repellency, oil repellency, soil repellency giving value addition to the textile substrate. Application of the fluorochemical finish has been found to be versatile in nature and can also be used to make fluoropolymer coatings and products that resist heat, oil, stains, grease, etc. In the recent times, C8 carbon atoms which was found to be carcinogenic in nature has been replaced by C6 and C4. C6 chemistry produces a byproduct called PFHA (perfluorohexanoic acid), which is supposed to be 40 times less bio accumulative than PFOA and found to be environment friendly.
