Fraunhofer ILT is developing laser-based manufacturing processes for applying PFAS-free functional coatings to metal components, plain bearings, and elastomer rollers.
According to experts at femtosecond laser company Litilit, replacing PFAS will require speeding up the adoption of femtosecond lasers.
Experiments at KIT show that fluoropolymers break down almost completely without residue during household waste incineration according to European standards.
