Conceptual Study of Non-Stick Cookware Coatings and the Effect of Some Corresponding Additives on Their Performance

Abstract

In this study the effect of some additives including Alumina, B4C and different types of SiC on glossiness, impact resistance, pencil hardness, conical bent resistance, corrosion, humidity and chemical resistance of non-stick coatings were studied. The results revealed that glossiness of the coatings decrease by addition of the additives but the overall resistance of the coatings grow by adding these substances among which boron carbide additive had the best effect on the coating general performance.
