The non-stick material (PTFE) of Tefal Pans

PTFE, a non-stick material that our customers love

Polytetrafluoroethylene, is a polymer compound which was discovered in 1938 by the chemist Roy J. Plunkett (1910-1994). Studies carried out by public health authorities in Europe and the United States have shown the safety of PTFE. It is a substance that does not present any danger, even in the event of accidental ingestion.

TEFAL pans are not made of TEFLON™
Historically Tefal has used TEFLON™ brand coatings for its non-stick pans. However, when Groupe SEB purchased TEFAL in 1968, it wanted to internalize the manufacturing of its own non-stick coatings to better control all stages of production.

What are the characteristics of PTFE?
The most non-stick material

Its non-stick properties allow cooking the most delicate of ingredients. It therefore does not require the addition of a fatty substance during cooking. It is a material that offers optimal cooking for more perfect recipes every day.

Tested and approved

Studies carried out by public health authorities in Europe and the United States have shown the safety of PTFE. It is a substance that does not present any danger, even in the event of accidental ingestion. Its molecules are too large to be absorbed by the body.

Resistant

Cold or hot, PTFE remains stable, including at the highest of temperatures experienced during cooking.

PTFE, a safe material
PTFE has been recognized by health authorities such as the World Health Organization and the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), as a material posing no danger to human health and compatible with food contact. Beyond its exceptional non-stick properties, it is because of this proven safety that Tefal has chosen PTFE coatings for its frying pans and saucepans.
