Transene Company, Inc. Eliminates its Use of PFAS and Saves Money

Transene worked with the Toxics Use Reduction Institute (TURI), the Massachusetts Office of Technical Assistance (OTA), and the University of Massachusetts Lowell (UMass Lowell) to find safer alternatives to PFAS for etching in the microelectronics industry. The research, evaluation, and implementation of the safer alternatives took place over an 18-month period and resulted in cost savings, in addition to a healthier environment for employees and customers. The safer alternative is 90 percent less expensive than the PFAS formulation that Transene was using.
