Teflon® is a registered trademark and a brand name owned by DuPont. Teflon® is not a chemical.
The Teflon® brand represents a family of high-performance products that are used in a wide variety of
industrial applications and consumer applications.
The Teflon® brand has come to represent a variety of benefits to consumers including easy clean, nonstick, repellency
and durablity.
Since the early 1960s, Teflon® brand non-stick coatings have been used on cookware.
Although consumers may use the brand Teflon® as a generic term to refer to all non-stick cookware, the Teflon®
brand refers only to certain non-stick coatings manufactured by DuPont and sold under the Teflon® brand name.
The coating on non-stick cookware is made from a liquid "paint" which contains PTFE (polytetrafluoroethlyene)
fluoropolymer and sometimes other fluoropolymers. The final cookware coating is a dried, durable non-stick
material which delivers the easy clean and non-stick performance that you expect from your cookware coated with
Teflon® non-stick.
