POLISHES. Some fluorochemicals will not stick to either water or grease. This makes them effective as self-cleaning auto polishes.
DRUGS AND COSMETICS. Because some fluorochemicals are inert, they do not irritate human tissues, may replace organic compounds which the skin cannot tolerate.
Such items are only the beginning, the Minnesota Mining men say. Lost in chemical ecstasy, they look forward to the day when fluorochemicals will double or triple the number of useful compounds that chemists can play with.
