1933 Jrnl. Amer. Chem. Soc. 55 3177 There is good evidence that tetrafluoroethylene is produced in small quantities.
1946 Sci. News 4 63 Polymerisation of tetrafluorethylene..yields heat-resistant, chemically inert solids, which can be moulded into any desired shape.
1958 Times Rev. Industry Feb. 81/2 A rather typical example of what can be achieved with fluorocarbons is the polymerization of tetrafluoroethylene to yield a commercial plastic.
1973 Materials & Technol. VI. 544 The monomer tetrafluoroethylene is obtained by pyrolysis from CHFCl2 (..that is, the refrigerants Freon-22 and Genetron-141).
