The first, and likely the most common, of Teflon brand non-stick coatings is polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), which is a a synthetic fluoropolymer of tetrafluoroethylene.
Some other Teflon brand coatings and their scientific names:
- Teflon ETFE - Ethylene and Tetrafluoroethylene (copolymer)
- Teflon FEP - fluorinated ethylene propylene (another copolymer)
- Teflon PFA - Perfluoroalkoxy

What does Teflon stand for?
Teflon was so named by the DuPont research chemist who discovered it accidentally in 1938. Roy Plunkett devised the name "Teflon" as an abbreviation for the compound's scientific name: tetrafluoroethylene (PTFE). There are a number of Teflon-brand synthetic flouropolymers available today, and, though they are not all PTFE-based, still use "Teflon" in their respective brand names.
What is the active ingredient in Teflon?
Teflon is a trade name for PTFE - polytetrafluoroethylene - it has no ingredients, it is what it is
Who invited the Teflon?
Dupont chemical corporation formulated a new plastic ,polytetrafluoroethylene,trade name Teflon.
What is the proper name of Teflon?
Polytetrafluorethylene (PTFE)
Is teflon brittle?
No, polytetrafluoroethylene (trade name: Teflon) is generally not brittle.

What company manufactured the Teflon?
Teflon is a trademark of DuPont now (originally, it was a trademark of Kinetic Chemicals, a subsidiary of DuPont). So any other companies making it are technically not making "Teflon", but rather "poly(tetrafluoroethylene)" (the generic chemical name of Teflon).
What is the ceramic nonstick that is used in Williams sonoma cookware made of?
PTFE (Not Teflon, Teflon is a Brand name) impregnated with ceramic particles to enhance durability.
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 Goldtouch Ceramic Nonstick that is used in Williams-Sonoma Cookware made of?
PTFE (Not Teflon, Teflon is a Brand name) impregnated with ceramic particles to enhance durability.
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
