I dunno why they call it C-8, but polytetrafluorethylene is longhand for that stuff. I think the story is that DuPont, back a few/ten/twenty years, was interested/concerned about the longevity of this stuff in the environment, and whether it was bioaccumulating in things/people. So they started designing a study, and looked around for a control. And then they discovered that they couldn't find one. EVERY sample they took had this stuff in it.
Unfortunately nobody can find a replacement for this stuff. It's very heat-tolerant, resistent to chemicals and abrasion, non-reactive. All of the properties that make it accumulate in the environment make it great for industrial uses. |

My wife and I were chit chatting in the last weekend and I pointed at our one and only Teflon pan and asked what would happen if they found this to be harmful? Teflon is on ****** everything.
