Ecolon (ecologically-friendly nylon), is a ceramic-glass reinforced Nylon 6 or Perlon coating, commonly used in cookware and set to replace the older Polytetrafluoroethylene non-stick coating aka PTFE or Teflon. Perfluorooctanoic acid or PFOA, used in the production of PTFE-coated cookware, is suspected of being a carcinogen and may be environmentally harmful. [1]
Ecolon coatings are highly resistant to scratches caused by utensils, metallic cleaning pads and abrasives, and withstand high temperatures, leading to great durability. PTFE coatings start breaking down at 240°C, while Ecolon remains stable up to 450°C.
Ecolon is produced by Wellman Engineering Resins. [2]
