  2. Polytetrafluoroethylene - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polytetrafluoroethylene

    PTFE has one of the lowest coefficients of friction of any solid. Polytetrafluoroethylene is used as a non-stick coating for pans and other cookware. It is non-reactive, partly because of the strength of carbon–fluorine bonds, so it is often used in containers and pipework for reactive and corrosive chemicals.

    PTFE has the lowest coefficient of friction of any known solid material. It is used as a non-stick coating for pans and other cookware. PTFE is very non-reactive and is often used in containers and pipework for reactive chemicals. Its melting point is 327°C, but its properties degrade above 260°C.

  4. 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.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-stick_surface

    Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) is a synthetic fluoropolymer used in various applications including non-stick coatings. Teflon is a brand of PTFE, often used as a generic term for PTFE. The metallic substrate is roughened by abrasive blasting, then sometimes electric-arc sprayed with stainless steel.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surface_treatment_of_PTFE

    Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), better known by its trade name Teflon, has many desirable properties which make it an attractive material for numerous industries. It has good chemical resistance, a low dielectric constant, low dielectric loss, and a low coefficient of friction, making it ideal for reactor linings, circuit boards, and kitchen utensils, to name a few applications.

    Fluoroalkenes and fluorinated alkynes are reactive and many are toxic for example perfluoroisobutene. [29] [30] To produce polytetrafluoroethylene various fluorinated surfactants are used, in the process known as Emulsion polymerization, and the surfactant included in the polymer can bioaccumulate.
