What is the difference between fluororesin and Teflon?
I will explain the differences between fluororesin and Teflon.
The difference between fluoropolymer and Teflon is the difference between a general name and a trademark. Fluoropolymers include various types such as PTFE, FEP, PFA, and ETFE. Teflon is a trademark of Chemours and is a brand name for some fluoropolymers. Therefore, even if they are referred to differently, such as fluoropolymer coating or Teflon processing, they may refer to the same coating. PTFE was discovered in 1938 by Dr. Plunkett of DuPont in the United States and was later marketed as Teflon PTFE. It later became famous for Teflon coating on frying pans, and the name Teflon became widely known. Currently, the Teflon trademark can only be used in factories that have entered into a licensing agreement with Chemours. Yoshida SKT entered into a contract with DuPont in January 1968 as a Licensed Industrial Applicator.
