So bulletproof vests
offer no protection from non-stick saucepans?

Polytetrafluoroethylene, surely?
But most chemicals have a trade name, do they not?
Let's face it, would you go into a shop and ask for a Polytetrafluoroethylene coated frying pan?

Naming polymers isn't really that much of an issue
as the normal names for them aren't the IUPAC names anyway.

that it would've sparked all this chemistry talk I'd have never bothered ;)

This is the nature of b3ta
Quite frankly, it could just as well have sparked a discussion about white water rafting if someone else had got there first.
