FRD-903 or hexafluoropropylene oxide dimer acid (HFPO-DA) (chemical name 2,3,3,3-tetrafluoro-2-(heptafluoropropoxy)propanoic acid) is a chemical compound that is used in the GenX process. It is not biodegradable and is not hydrolysed by water.[1][2]

The ammonium carboxylate salt is FRD-902, ammonium (2,3,3,3-tetrafluoro-2-(heptafluoropropoxy)propanoate) which is the specific chemical which Chemours has trademarked as GenX.
