Common types

1. Teflon non-stick pan

(1) Teflon is the transliteration of Teflon . Teflon is a registered trademark of DuPont used on a range of fluoropolymer products.

(2) Subsequently, DuPont developed a series of products besides Teflon polytetrafluoroethylene resin, including Teflon; AF (amorphous fluoropolymer), Teflon; FEP (fluorinated ethylene propylene) Resin), Teflon; FFR (fluoropolymer foam resin), Teflon; NXT (fluoropolymer resin), Teflon; PFA (perfluoroalkoxy resin), etc.

(3) In 1954, Colette, the wife of French engineer Marc Gregoire, had a whim and thought of the non-stick substance that her husband used to apply to fishing lines to prevent knots. If the material Teflon can be used on a frying pan, the effect will be good. The "non-stick pan" that saved countless modern housewives was born.

2. Ceramic-coated non-stick pans

Ceramics play an important role in the upgrade process of non-stick pans. Ceramics have stable performance and have been fully proven to be safe after thousands of years of use. The use of nanotechnology makes the surface of the product tight and non-porous, achieving a non-stick effect.

3. National Standards

(1) In response to the quality and safety issues of Teflon non-stick pans that are widely concerned by the society, the relevant person in charge of the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine stated today that the products produced by Chinese companies The quality and safety of non-stick pan products that comply with national mandatory standards are guaranteed, and consumers can use them with confidence.

(2) The person in charge said that PFOA (perfluorooctanoate) is a processing aid used in the production of Teflon non-stick pans. PFOA decomposes when exposed to high temperatures during the production process. The General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine has paid close attention to the progress of toxicological research on PFOA conducted by the scientific committee under the US Environmental Protection Agency and has actively communicated with the US Environmental Protection Agency.
