What is Teflon®?
Teflon has been a familiar name for decades. Invented at DuPont’s Jackson Laboratory in 1938, Teflon is actually a substance called polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), which is considered to be the most slippery substance that exists. Its nonstick properties have transcended the kitchen, and is widely used in other areas including aerospace, communications, electronics, industrial processes, and architecture. Teflon changed the plastics industry forever, and DuPont has received numerous awards and recognitions for its contribution to the field of man-made polymers. In the automotive industry, Teflon created a solution to the creaky wiper blades that screech across your windshield when it’s drizzling. The blade is coated with Teflon, which means less friction on the windshield — and a smoother motion against the windshield. It’s likely that just about every home in America has Teflon somewhere. As a carpet protector, it repels liquids so that nasty spills on your carpet can be wiped up clea
