No. Teflon® is a trademark name for DuPont's line of synthesized (read: man-made) non-stick coatings based on a set of fluorocarbon resins.
Minerals are naturally-occurring, typically inorganic (non-carbon based) compounds with a crystalline structure. They can be composed of one or more elements (gold vs. quartz, for example).
What else can I help you with?
Is Teflon considered a mineral?
No, Teflon is not considered a mineral. The actual name Teflon® is a brand/trademark name of the DuPont Corporation used to describe its family of high-performance polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) coatings and additives. PTFE as a chemical compound is a man-made fluorocarbon-based polymer, not a mineral.

What is the monomer of Teflon?
Teflon is polytetrafluoroethylene, so the monomer is tetrafluoroethylene.
Is Teflon thermosetting or thermoplastic?
Teflon is a thermoplastic.
What is density of teflon?
Density of POLYTETRAFLUOROETHYLENE (TEFLON):The density of Teflon is 2200 kg/m3.
Do they make something like teflon that's tougher?
Alluminum teflon is tougher than most other teflon.
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
What are the medical uses for teflon?
is teflon used in heart valves
What is the density of teflon?
Density of POLYTETRAFLUOROETHYLENE (TEFLON):The density of Teflon is 2200 kg/m3.
Does teflon contain cyanide?
No, Teflon does not contain cyanide. Teflon is a synthetic polymer that is primarily composed of carbon and fluorine atoms. Cyanide is a compound made of carbon and nitrogen atoms and is not found in Teflon.
Will Teflon conduct electricity?
Teflon is an electrical insulator (not a conductor).
Can you find cyanide in teflon?
Cyanide is not found in Teflon (polytetrafluoroethylene). Teflon is a synthetic polymer that does not contain cyanide as part of its chemical composition.
