If you were able to get the (proprietary, no doubt) chemical names for these materials, I suspect they would all be at least very similar, even if only tweaked a little in the polymer structure; all being in the polycarbonate family. This is a polymer chemist's $.02 worth.
Tennifer, Melonite, and similar finishes have nothing to do with polycarbonates nor polymer finishes. They are hot salt nitriding processes. There are dozens of sources on this that you can Google- here's one:
