Speaking from 1970-1977 experience in a PAM producing plant as a
chemist, PAM used to be a solution of lecithin in Freon 11 which was
then gassed with Freon 12 to make the final product. Both Freons left
any hot pan immediately leaving the lecithin as the final product.
I have no idea regarding modern formulations which definitely don't use
the Freons that we used to use, but I suspect lecithin is still the
majority of what's left.
