Interstitial pneumonia following exposure to fluorocarbon polymers [PDF]

Jornal Brasileiro de Pneumologia, 2014
Perfluoroalkyl resins are compounds containing hydrophobic alkyl chains, which are partially or fully fluorinated. These resins are heat-resistant (up to 260°C) thermoplastics used as coatings in the metallurgical industry (because of their mechanical and anti-adhesive resistance), as waterproofing agents for coating fabric, in papers used in the food ...
