PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene) is mostly used for the non-stick finish to cookware and roastware. It is also chosen in conjuction with aggresive chemicals. It can be also used for coating hoses, seals and sythetic parts. PTFE is also used for aircraft production, medical grafts, dental floss and piercing jewelry.

PTFE is used as an inert, lubricious coating. It is used to make non-stick pans (Teflon TM coatings) and to reduce the friction on mandrels and rods. It is also used in waterproofing sprays, since it is hydrophobic.
