  1. Perfluorobutanesulfonic acid

    Perfluorobutanesulfonic acid is a chemical compound with a four carbon fluorocarbon chain and a sulfonic acid functional group. As an anion it functions as a stable fluorosurfactant because of the strength of carbon–fluorine bonds. PFBS has served as a replacement for the persistent, toxic, and bioaccumulative perfluorooctanesulfonic acid in 3M's Scotchgard stain repellents since June 2003. PFBS has a much shorter half-life in people than PFOS. While PFBS is expected to be persistent in the environment, multiple studies claim that PFBS is neither toxic nor bioaccumulative. 3M markets surfactant with PFBS in two fluorosurfactants.
