From the pan to the floor, Teflon coating new surfaces.(Knight Ridder Newspapers)
Byline: Harold Brubaker
PHILADELPHIA _ DuPont Teflon is famous for preventing food from sticking to your pans.
Now, it's taking on a new role: keeping dirt from sticking to your floors.
Mannington Mills Inc. will begin selling vinyl, hardwood and laminate floors with a coating that includes DuPont's Teflon surface protector.
Mannington, based in Salem, N.J., hopes the widely recognized, 58-year-old Teflon brand will help spur sales _ particularly of vinyl flooring, which has been losing market share for a decade to hardwood and other types of flooring. Vinyl sales slipped from more than 12 percent of the floor-covering market in 1992 to about 7 percent in 2001.
