B. ANALYTICAL METHODS

The method of analysis consisted of a process of extraction using high purity methanol as

the solvent, followed by LC-MS-MS analysis of the extract as described in the following article:

Larsen, B. S.,Kaiser, M. A., Botelho, M., Wooler, G. R., Buxton, L. W. Comparison of

Pressurized Solvent and Reflux Extraction methods for the determination of perfluorooctanoic

acid in polytetrafluoroethylene polymers using LC-MS-MS. Analyst. 2005, 130, 59-62.

Fluoroelastomers content: analytical measurement GC/ECD (Gas Chromatography / Electron Capture Detection) with LOD 1

ppm on limited but representative sample of past production, as elimination of use of PFOA occurred in 2001 for the

manufacturing of most fluoroelastomers. Current production analyzed with LC/MS/MS (Liquid Chromatography Mass

Spectrometry Triple Quad) with LOD of 30 ppt after Pressurized Solvent Extraction Technique, as described in the following

article:

Extraction methods for the determination of perfluorooctanoic acid in polytetrafluoroethylene polymers using LC-MS-MS.

i Fluoropolymers manufactured with PFOA.

ii Use the following ranges: (1) Zero (2) > 0 – 10 kgs; (3) > 10 kgs – 100 kgs; (4) > 100 kgs – 1,000 kgs; (5) > 1,000 kgs – 10,000 kgs; (6) > 10,000 kgs –

100,000 kgs; (7) > 100,000 kgs – 1,000,000 kgs; (8) Over 1,000,000 kgs.

iii Concentration should reflect the concentration of chemical in the product as sold by the reporting company. If the reporting company has information

concerning the concentration of chemical in the product as used by others – for example, as incorporated by dilution into a formulation – that additional

information would also be helpful.

iv This value should be expressed as a weighted average concentration and range.

v This value should be expressed as a maximum concentration.

vi This value should be expressed as a simple (not weighted) average and range.
