Fluorochemical Surfactants

Fluorochemical surfactants are a type of surfactant that contain fluorine atoms in their molecular structure. These surfactants are used in various maritime applications, such as in antifouling coatings, oil spill dispersants, and cleaning agents. Fluorochemical surfactants are highly effective in reducing surface tension and improving wetting properties, which makes them useful in preventing marine biofouling and in enhancing the performance of cleaning agents. However, the use of fluorochemical surfactants has raised concerns about their potential environmental impact, as they are persistent and can accumulate in the environment. Therefore, their use is regulated in many countries.
