Teflon (English spelling)
Polytetrafluoroethylene, a type of fluororesin. DuPont's trade name. Fluororesin is a type of thermoplastic resin, a synthetic resin with excellent properties, such as being resistant to all chemicals and temperatures of over 200°C and as low as -100°C. Its composition is polyethylene, with the hydrogen replaced by fluorine. It has excellent corrosion prevention and electrical insulation properties. It is commonly used to coat frying pans to prevent burning. It is characterized by its workability similar to that of metals, but on the other hand, its melting point is 327°C and its high melt viscosity makes it difficult to mold.
