Teflon, a DuPont trademarked product, is a fluoropolymer, and there are three flavors of it now. Let's look at them. One is polytetrafluoroethylene (Teflon-PTFE), which is the stuff cookware is coated with. It's carbon and fluorine. Another is perfluoroalkoxy (Teflon-PFA), and it's used to make tubing and other products. It is largely like PTFE, but has a bit of oxygen in its chemistry. The third is fluorinated ethylene propylene (Teflon-FEP), and its about the same as Teflon PFA, which is to say it's mostly carbon and fluorine with a bit of oxygen. A link is provided to the Wikipedia article on Teflon, and you can link to the other articles from there and look at the chemical structure of a given example of one of the fluoropolymers.

What materials make up the coating of a nonstick wok?
A "nonstick" wok is typically a stainless or aluminum wok coated with Teflon or a Teflon derivative such as "TFAL." They are not suitable for houses with pet birds. Even slight overheating of a Teflon coating produces fumes that kill birds.
