What is used for coating non stick kitchen wares?

Dear student
Teflon is a synthetic material that can be used to cover the surface of certain object and imparts nonstick properties to it. The name ‘Teflon’ is actually a brand name (patented by DuPont) of polytetrafluoroethylene (or PTFE), which is a non-stick chemical substance discovered back in the 1930s during a laboratory experiment.
Now reasons why Teflon is used for Non Stick material:
  • It is highly inert, meaning that it doesn’t react with other substances easily.
  • It has a high melting point and shows exceptional electrical properties, which makes it an excellent choice to be used for the wiring of computer and aerospace applications.
  • Non-stick quality, which is why it’s used in numerous frying pans, pots, and other culinary tools.
The non-stick property of PTFE can be ascribed to its chemical structure.
Hope it is clear
Regards
