I will explain in detail the differences between Teflon and fluoropolymer, which are often confused.
■Difference Between Teflon and Fluoropolymer Teflon is a trademark of Chemours and is a brand name for fluoropolymers. Fluoropolymers include various types such as PTFE, FEP, PFA, and ETFE, but Teflon is a trademark for some of these. Teflon is a registered trademark of DuPont, represented by the 'R mark', while Chemours uses the 'TM mark'. Teflon-coated frying pans have popularized the term "Teflon coating" in society. Nowadays, the name Teflon is more well-known than the term fluoropolymer. Other chemical manufacturers also produce fluoropolymers, which are marketed under different product names. Industrial Teflon processing can be done at factories that have entered into licensing agreements with Chemours (DuPont). Yoshida SKT signed a contract with DuPont in January 1968 to become a Licensed Industrial Applicator (designated factory for industrial coatings).

basic information
**Properties of Teflon Resin and Fluororesin** ■ Non-stickiness It has good release properties even against strongly adhesive substances, meaning it does not stick or is difficult to stick. ■ Water and Oil Repellency It repels water and oil well when they come into contact with the surface. Therefore, it is difficult for dirt to adhere and can be easily cleaned. ■ Heat Resistance and Cold Resistance Among resins, it has high heat resistance, enduring high temperatures (up to 260°C). It also withstands low temperatures of -260°C. ■ Low Friction It has a slippery surface with a low friction coefficient. Additionally, it exhibits excellent lubricating properties. ■ Chemical Resistance It is rarely affected or corroded by chemical substances such as acids and alkalis. In the case of coatings, if the film is thin, it remains unaffected, but chemicals and solutions can penetrate the film and corrode the substrate, so a thicker film is applied to prevent substrate corrosion. ■ Electrical Properties It has high insulation strength (dielectric breakdown strength), volume resistivity, and surface resistivity, demonstrating excellent electrical insulation properties.
