2. Fluoropolymer - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluoropolymer

   A fluoropolymer is a fluorocarbon-based polymer with multiple carbon–fluorine bonds. It is characterized by a high resistance to solvents, acids, and bases. The best known fluoropolymer is polytetrafluoroethylene under the brand name "Teflon," trademarked by the DuPont Company.

3. Polytetrafluoroethylene - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polytetrafluoroethylene

   The commonly known brand name of PTFE-based composition is Teflon by Chemours, [4] a spin-off from DuPont, which originally invented the compound in 1938. [4] Polytetrafluoroethylene is a fluorocarbon solid , as it is a high- molecular-weight polymer consisting wholly of carbon and fluorine .

4. Chemours - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemours

   Chemours is the manufacturer of Teflon, the brand name of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), known for its anti-stick properties. [4] It also produces titanium dioxide and refrigerant gases. [5] It is currently being sued by the PA Attorney General, for knowingly exposing the public to PFAS. [6]

   An example of PFAS is the fluorinated polymer polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), which has been produced and marketed by DuPont under its trademark Teflon. GenX chemicals and perfluorobutanesulfonic acid (PFBS) are organofluorine chemicals used as a replacement for PFOA and PFOS.

6. Tetrafluoroethylene - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tetrafluoroethylene

   A convenient, safe method for generating TFE is the pyrolysis of the sodium salt of pentafluoropropionic acid: [6]. C 2 F 5 CO 2 Na → C 2 F 4 + CO 2 + NaF. The depolymerization reaction – vacuum pyrolysis of PTFE at 650–700 °C (1,200–1,290 °F) in a quartz vessel – is a traditional laboratory synthesis of TFE.

   Robert W. Gore (April 15, 1937 – September 17, 2020) was an American engineer and scientist, inventor and businessman. Gore led his family's company, W. L. Gore & Associates, in developing applications of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) ranging from computer cables to medical equipment to the outer layer of space suits.

8. Water contamination in Lawrence and Morgan Counties, Alabama

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_contamination_in...

   A DuPont Teflon producing plant operated near Parkersburg, and that plant has been identified as the likely source. [49] It was discovered that the DuPont plant had contaminated the local water supply with perfluorooctanoic (PFOA) acid thus residents in the area are advised to drink filtered water for the time being. [50]

9. ETFE - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ETFE

   Ethylene tetrafluoroethylene (ETFE) is a fluorine-based plastic. It was designed to have high corrosion resistance and strength over a wide temperature range. ETFE is a polymer and its source-based name is poly (ethene-co-tetrafluoroethene). It is also known under the DuPont brand name Tefzel and is sometimes referred to as 'Teflon Film'. ETFE ...
