NAICS Code 332812-21 Description (8-Digit)

Teflon manufacturing is a specialized industry that involves the production of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), commonly known as Teflon. PTFE is a synthetic fluoropolymer of tetrafluoroethylene that is known for its non-stick properties, high temperature resistance, and chemical inertness. Teflon is used in a wide range of applications, including cookware, industrial coatings, electrical insulation, and medical devices.

History

A concise historical narrative of NAICS Code 332812-21 covering global milestones and recent developments within the United States.

  • Teflon, also known as polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), was discovered by Roy Plunkett in 1938 while he was working for DuPont. The material was initially used for military purposes during World War II, but it quickly found its way into the commercial market. In the 1950s, Teflon was used to coat cookware, and by the 1960s, it was being used in a wide range of industrial applications, including as a non-stick coating for machinery and as a sealant for pipes. In recent years, Teflon has been used in the production of medical devices, such as catheters and stents, due to its biocompatibility and low friction properties. In the United States, Teflon has been the subject of controversy due to concerns over the safety of perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), a chemical used in the production of Teflon. In 2006, DuPont reached a settlement with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) over allegations that it had failed to report information about the health risks associated with PFOA. Since then, many companies have phased out the use of PFOA in the production of Teflon, and the industry has shifted towards more environmentally friendly alternatives. Despite these challenges, the Teflon industry continues to thrive, with new applications for the material being discovered all the time.
