fluorocarbon

Fluorocarbon refers to a class of synthetic compounds made of carbon and fluorine atoms. These compounds are highly stable and resistant to heat, chemicals, and degradation. Commonly used in products like non-stick cookware coatings, waterproof clothing, and dental floss, fluorocarbons help repel water and stains. They are also found in refrigerants and fire extinguishing systems. Because of their durability, fluorocarbons can persist in the environment, leading to concerns about their impact on ecosystems and human health. Their unique properties make them valuable in various industrial and commercial applications.
