Non-sticks are applied in layers, just like paint. The first layer is the primer - and it's the special chemistry in the primer that makes it adhere to the metal surface of a pan. The primer will adhere either to a substrate that is prepared by grit blasting or roughening the surface, or it can be applied over a smooth substrate.

They abrade (roughen) the surface of the pan to give it a "grippier surface to adhere to. They then "bake" it at a very high temperature to make the teflon concoction cure. This can only be done in very thin layers, which is why it's so easy to chip it when you use metal utensils.

Teflon is actually now believed to be toxic, so I wouldn't worry about it and just stay away.
