   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GenX

   GenX chemicals are used as replacements for PFOA for manufacturing fluoropolymers such as Teflon, [2] [10] the GenX chemicals serve as surfactants and processing aids in the fluoropolymer production process to lower the surface tension allowing the polymer particles to grow larger. The GenX chemicals are then removed from the final polymer by ...
