On January 17, 2024, Freudenberg Sealing Technologies announced offering a new class of materials, intended to improve fire protection in electric vehicle drives. Its name is “Quantix ULTRA” and it reportedly resists melting even at extreme temperatures of up to 1,200 degrees Celsius. Processing the material in injection molding is claimed to be both versatile and economical. Given that today's vehicles call for lightweight construction, its lower density compared to metallic materials should be an advantage. The first series application is now underway, as a flame protection barrier for cooling system parts in an electric car's lithium-ion battery.

On January 10, 2024, Gemstar Manufacturing reported that its rotomolded fuel tanks, made of acetal via the Robomold® robotic rotomolding technology, have been identified as a highly viable alternative to fluorinated fuel tanks in the wake of an Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) decision to halt the production of fluorinated coatings for HDPE containers due to PFAS contamination. As a reportedly fluorination-free solution, Gemstar has commercialized several EPA-certified acetal fuel tanks made with its Robomold® robotic rotomolding process.

On January 12, 2024, Tosaf, a globally active manufacturer of free additives, compounds, and color masterbatches for the plastics industry, announced it had developed processing aids for the extrusion of polyolefins that do not contain fluoroelastomers. They can reportedly be used without restriction in place of conventional products currently affected by the PFAS debate. They are claimed to be suitable for a wide range of film applications, and they meet the requirements of the FDA and EFSA for use in contact with food. While AP9709PE EU provides enhanced rheological properties, AP9711PE EU is said to be the grade of choice if the focus is on optical properties, including clarity and haze.
2024 年 1 月 12 日，活跃于全球塑料工业的游离添加剂、化合物和色母粒生产商 Tosaf 宣布，公司已开发出不含氟弹性体的聚烯烃挤压加工助剂。据报道，这些产品可以不受限制地替代目前受全氟辛烷磺酸争论影响的传统产品。据称，它们适用于广泛的薄膜应用，并符合美国食品及药物管理局（FDA）和欧洲食品安全局（EFSA）关于与食品接触使用的要求。AP9709PE EU 具有更强的流变特性，而 AP9711PE EU 则是光学特性（包括透明度和雾度）方面的首选牌号。
