PTFE is a fluorocarbon solid, as it is a high-molecular-weight compound consisting wholly of carbon and fluorine. PTFE is hydrophobic: neither water nor water-containing substances wet PTFE. PTFE has one of the lowest coefficients of friction against any solid. PTFE is used as a non-stick coating for pans and other cookware. It is very non-reactive.

PTFE is Polytetrafluoroethylene which commonly called as Teflon(C2F6)n.
The bond between carbon and fluorine is very weak.Due to this,their reactivity is low.so non stick cooking utensils are coated with it.

Non-stick pans are cooking pans made from or coated with materials designed to prevent food from sticking to their surface during the cooking process. Most non-stick pans are made using polytetrafluoroethylene (e.g. DuPont's Teflon) coating although newer materials are also used. Health concerns have been raised regarding use of PTFE as a cooking pan coating.

Teflon is use in painting of cars and bikes because it is no effect in UV light or in water. And also use in the non stick cooking ware.
