@WVduckchick, Have I been knighted ? Sir Sour Lord of Pond Scum - sure sounds elegant.

I used to have a friend here named SirBirdaholic the Night Knight, but his wife won't let him come and play anymore.

Maybe we should have a ceremony?

And I'm sorry about your friend. You've mentioned him before. This place has a way of taking friends from us. Still a few that I miss alot.

Was a cute picture thank you . But Tadpole is just a darling little girl . I got a big ole soft spot for babies .

Thought you all would like it . It's like a Rockwell .

Maybe we need to have a double B itch :smackparty :lau Teflon is everywhere in everything .used exstensively as plumbing gaskets hydraulic seals and MUCH MUCH MORE. When it comes to non stick cookware Teflon is a minor component . Hair dryers not likely used much if any in or around the heating element .

I'm doing further research on this .



Deb the melting point of pure Teflon is 100C making it unfit in it's pure state for high temperature applications. like you said it has to be a compound with Teflon as a component . The only place I've ever encountered Teflon in small electric appliances is very small eclectic motors and only as thrust washers .And very few of those . Like model car or slot cars or toys . But many household faucets have Teflon seals . They are safe. Most water heaters are set around 110 degrees . The heating elements in hair dryers have no Teflon in them and are safe to use with out worry . Any Teflon would be used as insulators . I'm in shock that they would use something with a such a low melting point as a component in a shatterproof coating for light bulbs :eek:A 250 watt heat lamp will very easily heat Teflon to it's gas point .And will heat almost all poly compounds to their melting point. For sure the bumper cover on DW's mini van :oops: :idunnoI was under the impression that the EPA mandated Teflon could no longer be used in nonstick cookware . Am I wrong ?:idunnoBut my memory is like my sex life almost gone :hit :lau

Its still a component in cook ware... they just call it something different. The Data sheet I was sharing was of Pure teflon for manufacturing processes.... They state 500 degrees for its outgas point... The melting point will be different because they do use it injection molding processes.

Oh heck now I have to go back and read my damnpost again.... :rant

Ok 400 degrees before it vaporizes.... pure Teflon...

But they have to mix it with stuff to make it stick to the aluminum.... Other wise there would be a teflon sheet that would peel off everytime you cooked with it.... LOL...
