This highly unique material was accidentally discovered by Dupont chemist, Roy Plunkett working with Freon gasses in 1938.
The residual powder that remained in the canister came to be known as Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE). Later to be registered and patented by Dupont.

I think that what it stands for has been established. But no one has said that it is the "slipperiest" substance known to man.
'Teflon' ...chemical name is .
Poly-Tetrafluoroethylene.
Poly(tetra fluoro ethylene).
It's a very high melting point plastic material which is resistant to most normal chemicals and has a very low co-efficient of friction-i.e it's slippery-which is why it's used to coat non stick cookware etc.
polytetraflouroethalyne. Top tip: dont breath the vapour/smoke from PTFE if it burns as it is highy toxic, not condusive for healthy lungs !!
It was used as an insulator for electrical power cables. I worked in a cable factory which produced such cables. Exposure to its fumes caused workers to suffer fron "PTFE Flu". This was very unpleasant and led to other plastics such as PVC and polyethylene being used in its place.
