Teflon™ Nonstick vs. Ceramic Coatings

Teflon™ Nonstick Coatings Outperform Ceramic Coatings

Side-by-side testing between Teflon™ nonstick coatings and ceramic coatings shows that cookware made with Teflon™ nonstick coatings offers superior food release and durability.

More Durable, Hard Wearing

For the past 50 years, Teflon™ nonstick coatings have delivered improved nonstick performance. Based on a Chemours lifecycle assessment, it takes seven ceramic pans to deliver the same level of nonstick performance as one pan featuring Teflon™ Platinum coating.

No Gimmicks or Sticking

Teflon™ nonstick coatings and "ceramic" coatings both start from minerals to create a synthetic coating. So, what's the difference between the two? We don't claim to be natural or pretend to be something we're not. Our coatings have been affirmed as safe for food contact by regulatory bodies such as the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), French Food Safety Agency (ANSES) and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

Longer Lasting Means Better Sustainability

Because cookware and bakeware made with Teflon™ nonstick coatings last longer, they’re more sustainable. So, products not only last longer, they also produce less waste, energy, and CO₂ emissions.
