I have been informed by a knowleddgeable party that the premise
of my comment made on 12-2-2022 was incorrect. There are some hex
chrome plating firms that do use PFAS fume suppressants. They do
that because PFOS was banned but not PFAS. Some platers do use PFAS
fume suppressants; purportedly because their air permits
require it.
So, I apologize to the CARB board for my ignorant
statement.
Our facility does not use PFAS or PFOS and never has. That would
seem to make us a potential asset to the State of California - A
hex chrome plater, with HEPA controls and no PFAS/PFOS dependency
or liability and with a mission to support the national aviation
infrastructure and the national defense. Yet, the ATCM bans
us.
