Enamel Coatings

Enamels are used as coating materials on cookware appliances because they provide aesthetic appearance, smooth surfaces, resistance to scratching and wear, durability, and resistance to thermal and chemical effects.

Akcoat oven enamels are used in many cooking group products, including oven inner chambers, baking trays, stovetop burner plates, burner caps, and grills.

Enamel coatings are often preferred in cookware used in gardens and outdoor areas because they protect the metal they cover from corrosion, ensuring long-term use, and they are highly resistant to heat and thermal shocks.

Akcoat barbecue enamels provide permanent color stability by protecting outdoor barbecues from UV rays, making them resistant to the acids and oils of foods. They ensure that barbecues found in natural environments have a hard and smooth surface, preventing scratching and wear from environmental factors.

Enamel coatings are often preferred in cooking utensils due to their aesthetic appearance on metal as well as providing a healthy surface for food contact. Having a smooth surface, they are easily cleaned and their antibacterial properties ensure safe usage.

The color range of enamel coatings for cooking utensils is quite wide, and they can be used in various colors. They are resistant to food acids, alkalis, and high temperatures. They can be washed in the dishwasher and stored in the refrigerator. They can be easily used in ovens and all heaters.

Boilers are devices used for heating, storing, and ensuring the availability of hot water at any time of the day without being affected by ambient temperature in industrial and communal areas. Due to their economic advantages, Boilers are also used as central hot water systems in places where people live collectively, instead of individual hot water production. In particular, in places with high daily hot water consumption such as factories, apartments, hotels, and hospitals, central hot water preparation systems save both human labor and fuel, resulting in energy savings.

Using galvanized and epoxy paint in devices that provide clean hot water is very harmful to human health; hence, the use of enamel in boiler inner coatings has rapidly increased. Enamel coating also contributes to the use of high-quality water and extends the lifespan of the device.

Akcoat has developed new-generation alkali enamels for boiler coatings that offer high corrosion resistance, enhanced resistance to boiling water, high thermal expansion rates for parts that heat water, and temperature resistance. Due to its low thermal conductivity, enamel coating also helps prevent energy loss in Boilers.

The thermal conductivity of enamels varies depending on their chemical composition. Compared to metals, enamel-coated surfaces exhibit higher thermal conductivity performance.  

The silicate structures in the chemical composition of enamel transmit incoming heat much more efficiently, which is why they are used in the coating of products like stoves and kitchen ranges to enhance their efficiency.

Heat exchanger enamels are used in the inner plate coatings of industrial heat exchangers such as natural gas, coal, fuel oil, power plants.

The industrial waste from these plants is separated through a filter. Heat exchanger enamels are resistant to such industrial waste. The high durability depends on the silicon content within the enamel structure.

Enamel coatings are preferred not only for white goods, architectural and cooking utensils but also for coating industrial silo containers, as slow-release fertilizer frit in agriculture, and as advanced technology coating materials in sectors such as defense and aviation.
