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.
Fluorocarbon elastomers are specialty polymers that possess excellent resistance to elevated temperatures and aggressive chemical media. The products described in this paper are based on Viton polymer produced by DuPont Performance Elastomers and Fluorel polymer produced by Dyneon 3M Company.
