(Food-Beverage-News.Com, October 21, 2014 ) Portland, Maine -- Polytetra-fluoroethylene or PTFE (DuPont trademark Teflon®) is a miracle chemical which has been available for some time but continues to find remarkable new applications, including the fairly recent introduction of the grill mat, a product which is in the process of changing the outdoor grilling experience for millions of Americans.
Teflon® was discovered in 1938 by a DuPont scientist, Dr. Roy Plunkett . Among its exceptional qualities is the lowest coefficient of friction of any solid material known to man. Over the years it has been applied in a wide range of industrial and commercial applications, and new ways to apply this remarkable substance continue to be discovered even today. Its desirable properties are no-stick, low friction, non-wetting, heat-resistance, electrical insulation, cryogenic stability and chemical resistance. PTFE coatings are chemically inert and solvent resistant to virtually all chemicals. The unique properties of Teflon® can be applied to a variety of materials and can become a surface component of any sort of industrial fitting from clutches that engage easier and valves that resist wear to coil springs that are silent and molds that release adhesives and chemical processing components that resist attack.
Probably the most recognizable application familiar to most homeowners is the Teflon®-coated pan which allows cooking fried eggs without any bacon grease, so most people will already have some idea of the convenience which Teflon® can provide. When this coating is applied to a fiber glass sheet a mat is produced with properties which revolutionize the art of cooking outdoors on the barbecue.
An official from Do-Be Products stated, "We are very proud to add this truly amazing mat to our line of products. When using this mat there will be absolutely no sticking of food on the grill. It is resistant to high temperature (500º F continuously and intermittently up to 600º F with ventilation), and is non-wetting (sheds water) making cleanup easier and more thorough."
The Do-Be grill mat is available on Amazon.
