âWe have an ambitious technology vision,â Weight Watchers CTO Dan Crowe said at the time of the Wello acquisition last May. âWe will become a 21st-century technology organization, engineered for the digital era, whose innovative technology fundamentally improves the way people manage their weight, health and wellness.
A fluoropolymer is a plastic material based in fluorocarbon containing carbon fluorine molecules. It is a special type of polymer that possesses special properties. The electronegative ion fluoride in a fluoropolymer gives it strong carbon-fluoride bonds, which makes it non-sticky.
It is a surfactant and is an essential polymerization aid used in very small quantities to help make fluoropolymer dispersions. For the fluoropolymer (which in most cases is PTFE) to be added as an ingredient in a nonstick coating formulation, small PTFE particles are dispersed in water.
