About This Webinar
Join us for an insightful webinar led by Tomislav Maric, Global Product Manager ZFC, on the significant implications of global PFAS restrictions for the zinc flake coating industry. With the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) proposing a comprehensive PFAS restriction expected to take effect by 2028, and the U.S. navigating complex federal and state regulations, coating suppliers are under pressure to find viable, non-PFAS-containing alternatives. The lack of exemptions for key materials like PTFE only intensifies the challenge.

In this session, we’ll explore the latest regulatory timelines, the immediate impacts on the supply chain, and the complexities of replacing PTFE given its unique properties. We will discuss the ongoing uncertainties related to PFAS contamination at various points in the supply chain and outline strategic approaches to scenario planning.

In this webinar we will cover the following topics:

• PFAS (per- and polyfluorinated substances) - definition and significance
• Global regulations for PFAS and impact on the coating industry
• Use of PFAS in zinc flake coating systems
• Development of non-PFAS-containing alternatives and technologies
• Possible effects and scenarios for the entire supply chain

Don’t miss this opportunity to gain actionable insights into staying compliant and preparing for the future in the evolving regulatory landscape.
