PFAS in non-stick coatings: What does that mean?

PFAS is the abbreviation for a large group of substances that have been and continue to be used in many industrial applications. The issue has also come into sharper focus in recent years when it comes to nonstick coatings.

When a product is labeled as having an ILAG coating without intentionally added PFAS, this statement refers to the ILAG nonstick coating itself—not automatically to the entire product, including all other components.

What this means is that no PFAS are intentionally used in the development and formulation of this ILAG nonstick coating.

It is important to us to communicate such information clearly, understandably, and transparently.
