What element is used in toothpaste and in protective coating for teeth and in Teflon?

Fluorine is the element used in toothpaste to help prevent tooth decay, in protective coatings for teeth to strengthen enamel, and in Teflon for its non-stick properties.


What is the element used in teflon?

There are two elements in Teflon. They are Carbon and Fluorine. Teflon is a polymer, very similar to polythene. In polythene there are hydrogen atoms, but in teflon these hydrogen atoms are replaced by fluorine. The formula for polythene(polyethylene) is -(-CH2-CH2-)- (n) For Telfon the formula is -(-CF2-CF2-)-(n)

What elements make up Teflon?

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.
