Is teflon a good barrier for ants i bought 2 bottles of 10 ml teflon from AntHouse.es and i was wondering if it as effective as fluon or similar to it

They are the same thing

Teflon aka PTFE aka Fluon is probably the best ant barrier except for very small species (and some exceptional climbing artists like Carebara minors which also happen to be very small ants though).

For tiny species, fluon is still the best barrier out there, you just have to apply ot upside down for those species.

it's a good barrier although it's a bit pricey; i'd suggest just using rubbing alcohol and baby powder next time unless you're keeping an escape artist species.

My Strobe ants can walk through Fluon like it's not even there... so for some ants, it's a waste of time
