PFAS TRADE NAMES
The following list of trade names also demonstrates that the inventor of a particular fluoropolymer product might license out the manufacture and/or sale of the product to another company.
You can also see that some of trade names represent very large families of fluoropolymers of types, sometimes with many sub-grades in the family.
Example Fluoropolymer & Fluoroelastomer Trade Names
This information is from https://www.matweb.com/search/AdvancedSearch.asp. The product names were selected randomly to demonstrate various trade names and that some tradenames represent different type of fluoropolymers. Some of the products listed here are no longer available.

PFAS Additives & non-PFAS Polymers
One of the more important concepts to keep in mind is that non-PFAS polymers can have PFAS additives, and perhaps even residual PFAS processing aids (chemicals used in the production of the base polymer material). Because of this some non-PFAS polymers will be in scope of PFAS regulations. For example, PFBS (perfluoro butane sulfonic acid) is sometimes present in polycarbonates as a flame retardant.
The following table shows some common types of additives that used in polymers, taken from UL 746A (Polymeric Materials – Short Term Property Evaluations) Table 9.1. Of course, not all of these additives are expected to be PFAS. Examples are given of known PFAS additives.
