#058 - Teflon™ Isn't a Thing…

In this episode, Andy shares a story about a trademark violation over the use of the name Teflon. Did you know that.... Teflon™ Isn't a Thing…It's a Brand! Teflon™ is a world-famous brand that's owned by Chemours. The Teflon™ brand identifies products made with Chemours raw materials, like fluoropolymer or industrial coatings. Over time, many people have mistakenly referred to the tape as "Teflon tape." We thought it was important to let you know that. If somebody offers to sell you "Teflon tape" when you need plumber or thread seal tape, they're either wrong or misleading you. Make an informed purchase and be aware that Chemours has not authorized any plumber tape to be sold as "Teflon tape." Teflon™ is a registered trademark of Chemours.   Who knew?!?
