Teflon was accidentally discovered by chemist Dr. Roy Plunkett in 1938 while working for DuPont. It was initially used for military purposes during World War II but gained popularity in the 1940s and 1950s for its non-stick properties in cookware. Teflon has since been used in a variety of applications due to its resistance to heat and chemicals.
What else can I help you with?
What is the monomer of Teflon?
Teflon is polytetrafluoroethylene, so the monomer is tetrafluoroethylene.
What is density of teflon?
Density of POLYTETRAFLUOROETHYLENE (TEFLON):The density of Teflon is 2200 kg/m3.
Where did teflon come from?
Teflon was first discovered by a chemist named Roy Plunkett in 1938 while working for DuPont. He accidentally discovered the polymer polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) while conducting experiments with refrigerants. The material's non-stick properties led to its commercial use in various applications, such as cookware.
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).
Is Teflon renewable?
by definition, no. Renewable means provided by nature and replenished in time. Teflon is a Dupont product -- nature does not provide teflon.
Is there latex in Teflon?
No, Teflon does not contain latex. Teflon is a brand name for a synthetic polymer called polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), which is not derived from latex.
