Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are defined as fluorinated substances that contain at least one fully fluorinated methyl or methylene carbon atom without any hydrogen, chlorine, bromine, or iodine atom attached to it.  The second approach involves eliminating the use of fluorochemicals (the carbon fluorine bond) and working with alternative hydrocarbon chemistries.

Here, continuous fibers, such as glass or carbon, are pulled through a thermoset resin bath, such as epoxy, polyester, or vinyl ester, and then formed into a desired shape using a die. Carbon fiber pultrusions are exceptionally lighter than metal and other materials.
