The melting point of Teflon is 326.8 degrees Celsius or 620.24 degree Fahrenheit. Teflon is a polymer made up of a large chain of molecules with fluorine. The scientific name of Teflon is tetrafluoroethylene.

In 1938, an employee Roy Plunkett working at DuPont discovered Teflon. It went into commercial production in 1946.

It has a high molecular weight and a molecular formula of (C2F4)n where “n” indicates that it is a polymer formed of a long chain of molecules bonded together with a carbon atom.

Teflon does not get wet by water and most other liquids. It offers very little friction. It is not reactive and can be used safely for making non-stick cooking utensils.
