Is teflon an organic compound?

Teflon is an organic material.


What is special about Teflon?

- Teflon is very resistant to other chemicals - Teflon is a good electrical insulator - Teflon is thermo-resistant - Teflon has a very low coefficient of friction - Teflon is a non-stick material used for coatings - Teflon is a thermoplastic material


Is teflon brittle?

No, polytetrafluoroethylene (trade name: Teflon) is generally not brittle.


What is teflon and what is so special about it?

Teflon is a plastic material which has two useful properties. It can stand the kind of heat generated by the cooking of food, without melting nor burning. Also Teflon is a sort of waxy material with a low sliding friction coefficient. These two properties make Teflon useful as a non-stick material for lining the inside of metal cooking pots.Teflon is also useful in machinery, where certain surfaces have to rub against each other (such as in bearings) because here the friction of rubbing can generate unwanted heat. However, the static friction of teflon surfaces is high, so that Teflon bearings need to have their motion started by relatively high forces before the advantage of low dynamic friction is felt.


What is a teflon?

Teflon is commonly in households used as a non-stick coating on cookware. It is considered the most slippery material in existence. It is insoluble in almost everything. It doesn't char or melt in extreme heat. Teflon doesn't rot, swell, mildew, mold or degrade in sunlight. Because of the versatile properties of Teflon, it has uses in almost every industry including communications, aerospace, and architecture.
