I believe it is perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), the same stuff used to make Teflon coatings, and inside coating of food packagings. It is a carcinogen. 96% of US children now has this non-biodegradable chemical in their blood. Even though the industry is supposed to phase out PFOA voluntarily, they are replacing it with similar chemicals that belong to or will breakdown into again perfluoro chemicals. Go figure!

Does the ski boot shell become brittle with age?
Like all plastic, I think it would. This also varies depending on what kind of plastic it is. I have personally seen old ski boots fail during use on the ski hill. I can't give an exact number of years, however, the plastic does degenerate over time. Absolutely! I met a nice couple in a hot tub at the resort I was at and the man said that his dad was skiing and jumped off the lift and when he landed his 20 year old boots shattered like glass.
