Origin[]

Teflon is a synthetic form of tetrafluoroethylene discovered by the DuPont Company. Due to its molecular structure, it is highly water repellent and has one of the lowest coefficients of friction for a solid. French engineer Marc Gregoire applied coatings of Teflon his fishing lines and cooking pans to prevent tangles and messes. Today, Teflon and other non-stick substances are commonly used in cooking vessels to provide easy transfer to the plate without damaging the food.

Effects[]

Deflects any force that strikes the inside of the plan with twice the speed. Any objects it touches will become extremely slippery and hard to grasp.
