When is National Teflon Day?
Thursday April 6thEach year, Dr. Roy Plunkett's accidental invention of Teflon on April 6, 1938, is commemorated on National Teflon Day..
Polytetrafluoroethylene was mistakenly discovered by Plunkett and his assistant while working in the E. I. du Pont de Nemours and Company lab on April day. In 1945, Chemours registered the Teflon mark, which was registered in 1945. Dr. Plunkett was inducted into the Inventors' Hall of Fame in 1985, where it inducted him into its ranks.
While Plunder is lauded for the development of Teflon, another individual saw Teflon's greater function. Marion A.Trozzolo converted it from the lab to the kitchen. The substance was used to coat his scientific utensils at the University of Kansas City, Missouri. This use led him to the establishment of Laboratory Plasticware Fabricators later..
He introduced The Happy Pan, the first American-made Teflon coated frying pan.
Teflon is everywhere today and in unexpected places, too. Today, Teflon can be found everywhere and in unexpected places. In addition to coating metals for cooking, it can also be used to shield fabrics and reduce friction in the aerospace industry. In addition, it helps to increase production and minimize contamination in pharmaceuticals.
