actually it's called 特氟龙 in mainland china
-----------------

Editor: 特富龍 is a PRC rendering of the Teflon trademark used by its owner, the American company Chemours.

I deleted the (loanword) labels. I don't think they help much in this sort of case. Teflon is a product name, and we generally don't use "loanword" with transliterated names (personal names, place names etc -- 普京 or 佛罗里达 etc). Consider 萊卡 / 吉普 / 索尼 / 奧迪 / 勞力士 / 可口可樂 - none of these have loanword labels, and I don't think they should.
