FRD-903 is a chemical compound that belongs to the per- and polyfluorinated alkyl compounds . In the GenX process , the ammonium carboxylate salt - ammonium 2,3,3,3-tetrafluoro-2- (heptafluoropropoxy) propanoate - which is called FRD-902, is used as an inert processing aid and a substitute for perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA). FRD-902 is made from hexafluoropropylene oxide.
FRD-903 is not biodegradable and is not hydrolyzed by water . It has been detected in river water, sediment and drinking water . In 2019, FRD-903, its salts and halides were added to the list of substances of very high concern for approval .
The chemical is the subject of a documentary - GenX: a Chemical Cocktail .
