| Teflon and related nonstick materials are made from an ultraslippery compound, polytetrafluoroethylene. |
| Commonly used organic antiblocks include compounds of the amide, organic stearate, and metallic stearate families, and such materials as silicone and polytetrafluoroethylene. |
| Polytetrafluoroethylene is the basis of the non-stick coating Teflon, as well as the breathable waterproof fabric Goretex. |
| An attempt to reimplant the vertebral artery to the polytetrafluoroethylene graft was also unsuccessful, as the artery was very inflamed and friable. |
| Teflon is a fluorocarbon polymer known by the chemical name polytetrafluoroethylene. |
| When polytetrafluoroethylene is manufacturered, some PFOA is released into the environment. |
