Influence of Temperature on PTFE coated non-stick cookware

Temperature, oC	Effects/causes/observations [References]
160oC	Chicks/birds started to die [11]
200 °C	Chicken birds die when they are exposed to a light made of PTFE-coated bulbs [13]
240 °C	Teflon coating started to get off the pan [19]
280 °C	Toxic gas started to form [11]
290 °C	PTFE particles were formed at ultra-fine levels from pan [11]
360 °C	Toxic gases released from PTFE-coated pans and affected the animal carcinogen [20]
470oC	SiF4- Silica tetrafluoride formed, which is highly toxic by inhalation [21]
500oC	CoF2-Carbonyl fluoride toxic gas formed [11]
600oC	CF3COF-trifluoroacetic acid fluoride degrades to Hydrogen fluoride (HF) and Trifluoroacetic acid (TFA)-highly poisonous [21]
650oC	CF4-Carbon tetrafluoride – global warming, affecting lungs, hearts, and nervous system [21]
