If nothing ever sticks to Teflon, how do they make Teflon stick to the pan?

lots of people with exactly the same question lol yes I agree with the answer already given... Scientifically speaking, Teflon will not chemically bond to anything, but can be forced mechanically into small nooks and crannies. This slippery substance adheres to their surfaces once manufacturers sandblast them to roughen them, apply a primer, and embed the Teflon into the primer. If they get scratched you may find that the coating does wear off over time. Teflon was invented by Dr. Roy J. Plunkett http://www.chemheritage.org/classroom/chemach/plastics/plunkett.html
