Solution

The polymer that was made accidentally is Teflon.

Teflon, also known as polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), was discovered accidentally by Roy Plunkett in 1938. He was actually trying to make a new chlorofluorocarbon refrigerant, and instead ended up creating a white, waxy material that was heat resistant and extremely slippery. This material was later developed into several useful products, including non-stick cookware.
