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

Is there a simple test to be able to tell if a material is PTFE or Teflon?
PTFE and Teflon are essentially the same material; PTFE is the scientific name for Teflon. To test if a material is PTFE/Teflon, you can check if it is non-stick, heat-resistant, and has a smooth, slippery surface.
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 proper name of Teflon?
The proper name of Teflon is polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE).
What is the chemical name for teflon?
The chemical name for the polymer is polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE).
What would be the name of the Teflon monomer?
The Teflon monomer is called tetrafluoroethylene.

The chemical name for the polymer is polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE).
What would be the name of the Teflon monomer?
The Teflon monomer is called tetrafluoroethylene.
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.
Does Teflon contain for formaldehyde?
No, Teflon does not contain formaldehyde. Teflon is a brand name for a synthetic polymer, polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), which does not include formaldehyde in its composition.
What element used to make teflon?
Teflon is made using the element fluorine, together with carbon and sometimes other elements. The chemical name for Teflon is polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE).
Can you name 2 smart materials?
Lycra and Teflon
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 difference between TEFLON and V-TEFLON?
TEFLON is a brand name for polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), which is a synthetic polymer used for its non-stick and heat-resistant properties. V-TEFLON is likely a variation or a specific formulation of PTFE created by a specific company, which may have different characteristics or properties compared to traditional TEFLON.
What is the common name of polytetrafluoroethylene?
Some of the most common names are Teflon, Syncolon, and Fluon. It is abbreviated as PTFE.
