<\/span>PTFE History<\/span><\/h2>\nRoy J. Plunkett in the year 1938 by chance discovered Teflon. This happened when he tried to make new refrigerant related gases. Plunkett measured the bottle to be sure of the gas amount it consumed.<\/p>\n
However, his interest peaked in the origin of the weight. So, he chopped the bottle into two.<\/p>\n
He saw a white substance what was waxy in the bottle that was quite slippery too. With further analysis done, he got to know that it was polymerized perfluoroethylene.<\/p>\n
In the year 1941, the material was patented by Kinetic Chemicals. They patented it as a new type of fluorinated plastic. Then, it was later in the year 1945 registered as the Teflon trademark.<\/p>\n
Since Marc Gregoire, a French engineer, was already using this material on his fishing equipment, he decided to try it on his wife\u2019s (Colette Gregoire) cooking utensils. This was in the year 1954. Marc then developed the very first PTFE-coated, nonstick cookware under the Tefal trade name.<\/p>\n
It was until the year 1961 in the United States of America that Marion A. Trozzolo the very first non-stick cookware. Since 1961, non-stick pans have become very famous worldwide. Now, they can be found in millions of homes with different brand names.<\/p>\n
