Non-Stick and Decorative Coatings

Due to their low coefficient of friction, fluoropolymers, which are materials resistant to wear and chemical resistance, do not adhere to any substance thanks to their inert properties. They are widely used in many sectors due to their higher temperature resistance compared to other polymers and their wide range of operating temperatures. Non-stick coatings containing high-performance fluoropolymer resins are products manufactured according to international standards and are used in cookware products and industrial kitchen equipment. The non-stick coating is applied directly to the metal surface. To ensure adhesion of the coating to the metal surface, it is cured in high-temperature ovens. A durable and non-stick surface is obtained with the final coating.

The sol-gel process involves the formation of colloidal suspensions (sol) consisting of solid particles in a liquid phase, followed by the formation of three-dimensional solid inorganic network structures (gel) within a continuous liquid phase.

Akcoat's silicone coatings can be applied on the outer surfaces of cookware, ovenware and small household appliances offer a wide range of color options and can be applied in different brightness levels, whether matte or glossy, smooth or with metallic effect. Silicone coatings are highly heat-resistant and easy to clean.

Aluminium enamels improve thermal and electrical resistance properties and prevent deformation at high temperatures. They also increase the scratch resistance of the surface. Aluminium enamels can improve the surface quality of aluminium by creating a smoother surface and a lower coefficient of friction. In addition, aluminium enamels are used for decorative purposes with a wide color scale.

Industrial Coatings are produced for electrostatic applications in different chemical compositions (FEP, PFA, PTFE) according to the usage area. It is widely used in industrial kitchen equipment, tanks, machine parts and molds. Electrostatic application is made in wet condition on the primer applied with spray. Depending on the type of coating, it is cured in a temperature range of 360-400 °C for different times, and a coating of >50 μm is obtained.

Akcoat's acrylic coatings add design richness to the handles of cookware and the surfaces of some small electrical household appliances with different color options, and offer durable solutions with color strength and heat resistance.
