What is National Teflon Day?
Each year, Dr. Roy Plunkett's accidental invention of Teflon on April 6, 1938, is commemorated on National Teflon Day.
Plunkett and his assistant mistakenly discovered polytetrafluoroethylene while working in the E. I. du Pont de Nemours and Company lab on April day. In 1945, Chemours registered the Teflon brand, which was the first use of the Teflon brand. Dr. Plunkett was inducted into the Inventors' Hall of Fame in 1985, where it inducted him into its ranks.
Although Plunket 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. Laboratory Plasticware Fabricators were established later this use, which led to the creation of Laboratory Plasticware Fabricators.
He introduced The Happy Pan, the first US-made Teflon coated frying pan.
Teflon can be found everywhere and in unexpected places, as well. It's also used to shield fabrics and reduce friction in the aerospace industry in lieu of coating metals for cooking. It also helps to increase production and minimize contamination in pharmaceuticals.
