Eu restrictions on the use of PFOS instruction will be in June 27, 2008 formally implemented, PFOS are widely used in many civil and industrial production field, the implementation of the directive will be in a wide range of related products exports caused serious influence to our country.

Called the PFOS perfluorinated octane sulfonyl compounds (C8F17SO2X), is a textile and leather products the main active ingredient, antifouling agents are widely used in the production field of civil and industrial products, is currently the most difficult to degradation of organic pollutants, has the very high biological toxicity of chemicals and various, not only will cause the problem of human respiratory system, can also cause a newborn death, it cause the global pollution is increasingly attention by people. On October 25, 2006, the European parliament passed the restrictions on the use of PFOS directive 2006/122 / EC of the directive rules: on June 27, 2008, the European Union members began formal implementation of PFOS restrictions, specific limit is as follows:

1. The compound itself or its content in the preparation should be less than 0.005% (50 PPM);

2. The content in the semi-finished products should be less than 0.1% (1000 PPM);

3. Its content in textile or coating should be less than 1 mu g/m2.

This marked the eu official ban PFOS in the use of goods, first to be affected will be textile, leather and other products of export enterprises. Because PFOS's most widely exists in the textile industry, no need to printing and dyeing and finishing of textiles are required to pass through before washing, such as uv resistance, antibacterial functional finishing other additives may also contain PFOS, used by the implementation of the directive will directly affect our country textile, leather, paper, packaging, printing and dyeing auxiliaries, cosmetics and other products of export. The survey shows that most of the export enterprises in our country of PFOS instruction has not been enough attention, even for their products the composition of PFOS are not clear. And the European Union PFOS instruction involves the scope is very broad, will produce great influence to our country foreign trade. It is understood that the current international has ideal substitute, but our domestic has not yet developed to fully meet the eu textile YongZhuJi of PFOS control standards. Related domestic export enterprises should communicate with the European importers on relevant issues as soon as possible, to replace the product selection, experiment and application, in order to reduce instruction implementation.
