FOOD & BAKEWARE Coatings with PTFE TEFLON® XYLAN® COATING

PPC specializes in Industrial Coating Applications for the Food Processing Industry with special focus on Bakeware and Cookware.

All bakeware coatings sold by us comply with FDA regulations governing components of coatings for direct food contact.

PTFE coatings, Teflon® and Xylan®  have gained reputations for their non-stick properties. Apart from their release and non-stick properties for easy cleaning, after use,  they  provide excellent services for impact, wear and abrasion resistances and extreme working temperatures that the cookware and bakeware are often imposed in their duty cycle.

PTFE coatings have found ways to fight problems with plugging, corrosion, and sticking during food processing. Components coated with PTFE can help cut equipment maintenance costs, increase uptime, increase throughput, and safeguard product purity. Since, sometimes, the same equipment is used to  make a wider range of food products, easy cleaning reduces the frequency, amount, and severity of cleaning chemicals used in processing facilities and is therefore a benefit to the environment. Reduced downtime for cleaning can potentially improve plant productivity by 15-25%!

With the move to healthier living, equipment used to produce vitamins and supplements show clear advantages when process equipment is coated with PTFE. Process equipment dealing with food related products, in particular moulds for both food consumables and packaging benefit from PTFE coatings.

The most popular coatings are dispersions containing PTFE. Coatings we apply also include: Chemours TEFLON®  products and PPG Whitford Xylan®  products. PEEK and Ryton ® Coatings from Solvay is amongst the best and more expensive are also available with us for this service.

Key Properties of Food and Bakeware Coatings

  1. Corrosion & Chemical Resistance – Protects metal surfaces from rust, oxidation, and harsh chemicals.
  2. Non-Stick & Release Properties – Prevents food from sticking, making cleaning easier in bakeware applications.
  3. Temperature Resistance – Withstands high-temperature environments, essential in ovens and processing equipment.
  4. Durability & Abrasion Resistance – Ensures longevity under frequent use and mechanical stress.
  5. Food-Grade Safety – Meets FDA and EU regulations for food contact materials, ensuring non-toxicity.

Applications in Food Processing & Bakeware Industry

  • Food Processing Equipment: Coatings are applied to conveyor belts, mixers, and cutting tools to prevent contamination and improve hygiene.
  • Bakeware & Cookware: Non-stick coatings (such as PTFE and ceramic) enhance baking efficiency by reducing sticking and facilitating easy cleaning.
  • Storage Tanks & Pipelines: Protective coatings prevent corrosion and ensure safe food storage.
  • Ovens & Grills: High-temperature coatings protect metal surfaces from heat-induced damage and oxidation.
