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.
What are fluoropolymers used for? Fluoropolymers are thermoplastics, which simply means that at some point energy (in most cases, heat, which is why the prefix thermo) is used to achieve the final form. Typical uses for fluoropolymers include wire insulation for computer networks, semi-conductor manufacturing equipment, and automotive fuel hoses.
