Henri Moissan – 1906 Nobel Prize winner for chemistry
“Professor Henri Moissan, the whole world has admired the great experimental skill with which you have isolated and studied
fluorine – the savage beast amongst the elements.”

Background to fluorochemicalsq Fluorochemicals are any organic or inorganic
compound containing one or more fluorine atoms,
q Fluorochemicals are generally industrial chemicals as opposed to consumer chemicals,
q Fluorochemicals are used in the production of a range of consumer goods,
q The global market for fluorochemicals was 12 billion USD in 2006,
q The growth rate is approximately 5 % per year.
