Perfluorohexanoic acid (PFHxA) is a fluoroalkane derivative of hexanoic acid. It is produced as a byproduct in the production of some fluoropolymers, and up until 2002, it was used in the manufacturing process of polytetrafluoroethylene.[3]

Perfluorohexanoic bioaccumulates and is detectable in the blood nearly every individual in the United States.[3]

In 2020 Michigan adopted drinking water standards for 5 previously unregulated PFAS compounds including PFHxA which has a maximum contaminant level (MCL) of 400 parts per billion (ppb).[4][5]
