How's it work then?

Products like this and hairspray intrigue me, as they appear to provide the same results as coating something in a layer of liquid plastic, but without any detriment to the texture of the material. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.73.70.113 (talk) 05:26, 19 April 2009 (UTC)

Will your carpet kill you?

So if this is placed on carpets, and it is known to contain POPs does that mean your carpet will kill you over time? --IceHunter (talk) 20:39, 24 May 2011 (UTC)

See Perfluorooctanesulfonic acid#Health effects in humans and wildlife. You won’t outright die, but getting an elevated cancer risk counts as dying a little, slowly. One carpet might mean a tiny exposure (you don’t lick them), but scale it up to enough people, add in leather couches (kids love licking them!), add in washwater containing this POP going back into the water supply…

(Here I am reading this article because the new mop I want to buy has Scotchgard in the mop head. They still do it in China — no wonder the PFOS article says blood levels are still going up here. In the end I bought it anyways because of the allegedly better “shovel-shaped fiber”. The deals we make with the devil for convenience…) Artoria2e5 🌉 14:13, 10 October 2023 (UTC)

Waterproofed the STS tiles

The shuttle tiles were waterproofed with this stuff. The only reference I have found is here.
