Does Calphalon LRS LRS3 "nonstick" surface contain PTFE/Teflon?

Question

I've searched everywhere whether or not Calphalon's hard-anodized aluminum nonstick (or stick-resistant) coating contains Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), also known by its trademark name Teflon. I've contacted the company, and all they said is that the process is an oxidation process where aluminum is submerged in acid (etc.).

I also found in another site that some of the cookware conatain a nonstick compound called LRS and LRS3. From the Calphalon site, they are described as "LRS and LRS3 nonstick coatings - two of the most advanced nonstick formulas available today - are made from synthetic polymers." But, they did not specify what the end synthetic polymers are. However, PTFE is also a synthetic polymer?!

Does anyone have insight about this?
