__What is Teflon?__
Teflon is also known as Polytrafloroethylene. It was found in 1938 by a scientist named Roy, J.. It was brought to the public in 1948. An estimates 95% of Americans have Teflon in their blod cells. This compound is acquired to make non-stick coating in pan, and slippery pans. Teflon has a really low coefficient of friction. Teflon is used as a lubricant and decreases friction and energy in machinery. Teflon is used mostly for non stick pans because of its high heat resistance. It is also very hydrophobic. Teflon’s melting point is a high 327°C. Since this is really high it is used in non stick pans to reduce friction between the food and the pan. Its coefficient of friction is around 0.05-0.10. Tetons density is around. 2200 kg/m3



__Advantages of Polytrafloroethylene:__

 * Low Weight
 * Rebellious to Chemical Attack
 * Is not brittle
 * Not much money
 * Not that much tisssue reaction
 * Adpatable

__Disadvantages to Polytrafloroethylene:__

 * low thermal conductivity
 * low melting point compared to other lubricants
 * low load campacity compared to other lubricants

__**W**hat is Teflon made up of:__
Telfon chemical formulas is C 2 F 4. Each carbon atom will have to fluorine atoms attached to it. This chemical formula causes the compound to be hydrophobic and to have a high meting point.

__Is Teflon safe?__
Teflon is said to be safe. When its in its lubricant form this is true. However when Teflon reaches it highest melting point it can release some nasty chemicals. Thic can go into your body and cause some really serious effects.
