PROPLANET’s Replication Tool

The PROPLANET Replication Tool is an open‑source web application designed to help users explore PFAS‑free coating technologies for glass, metal, and textiles, offering an accessible way to compare formulation components, assess performance, and evaluate environmental and safety profiles. Built with interactive simulations, environmental fate models, and multi‑objective optimisation, the tool supports manufacturers, researchers, and policymakers in transitioning away from harmful PFAS‑based coatings.

This tool was developed through the combined contributions of several partners: Idener (main web tool implementation and data orchestration), NovaMechanics (environmental fate model and lung deposition module), the University of Málaga (optimisation procedure), NILU (safety indicator approach and reference values), RINA‑CSM (first‑principle simulations and performance modelling), and TECNALIA (experimental data supporting model development). Together, these partners have made PFAS‑free coating innovation both accessible and actionable.
