At the risk of asking a really dumb question: Does this only work on PTFE or other flourine-compound surfaces?


IANA chemist but my guess is that it's of particular interest because PTFE surfaces are especially non-stick, and non-PTFE surfaces have good options that require less exotic chemistry.

The question I have is how long will it be till the report comes out indicating that DuPont has been dumping this product and intermediate compounds into local waterways. I give it 15 years?


I really want to see this tested on HDPE. A simple, reliable adhesive for polyethylene could be a game changer.
