As a responsible supplier of ball valves, we take the current discussion surrounding PFAS (Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances) and the related regulatory developments very seriously. PFAS are a group of synthetic chemicals known for their water, oil, and stain-repellent properties, and have historically been used in a wide range of industrial applications — including seals, coatings, and materials that require high chemical resistance. We are fully aware of the potential environmental and health concerns associated with certain PFAS compounds, particularly due to their persistence in the environment (commonly referred to as “forever chemicals”). For this reason, we closely monitor developments at both the European and national regulatory levels, including the ongoing restriction proposal by the European Chemicals Agency (ECFIA). 1. Transparency: Upon request, we provide detailed information regarding the presence and relevance of PFAS in our products, particularly in relation to materials such as PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene), which falls under the broad definition of PFAS. 2. Regulatory Compliance: All our products comply with current legal requirements. Should the regulatory framework change (e.g. through PFAS bans or restrictions), we are prepared to take the necessary steps to ensure continued compliance. 3. Material Assessment: We continuously review the materials used in our products in terms of their environmental impact and future regulatory risks. Where appropriate, we evaluate alternative solutions in collaboration with our material suppliers. 4. Customer Communication: We provide our customers with clear, well-founded information and are available for technical inquiries or tailored product solutions. As a supplier of industrial ball valves, we understand that trust, safety, and sustainability are essential pillars of successful cooperation. We are committed to offering high-performance and future-proof products that meet both technical and environmental expectations. We are happy to address any questions at: [email protected]
