A surface of a cooking device having a non-stick function is often coated with a non-stick coating that plays a non-stick role.

The above and/or additional aspects and advantages of the present disclosure will become apparent and more readily appreciated from the following description of embodiments with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:
Embodiments of the present disclosure are described in detail below. The embodiments described below are exemplary, are merely used for explaining the present disclosure, and cannot be understood as limiting the present disclosure. Operations, of which the specific technologies or conditions are not specified in the embodiments, shall be carried out in accordance with the technologies or conditions described in the literature in the art or in accordance with the product specification. The reagents or instruments used without indicating the manufacturers are conventional products available on the market.
In an aspect, the present disclosure provides a non-stick coating. According to embodiments of the present disclosure, referring to
According to the embodiments of the present disclosure, a hue of at least one material in the undercoat is adapted to shield a hue change of the substrate material. Therefore, the non-stick coating may effectively shield the yellowing of the substrate material. In some embodiments, the hue of the at least one material in the undercoat shields at least 90% of the hue of the substrate material, or the hue of the at least one material in the undercoat shields at least 90% of the hue change of the substrate material. Therefore, the non-stick coating has a better effect in shielding the yellowing of the substrate material.
According to the embodiments of the present disclosure, the undercoat includes a first pigment having a first hue. The first hue is adapted to shield the hue of the substrate material. Therefore, even if the yellowing of the substrate material occurs during use, the substrate material can be effectively shielded by the undercoat. Thus, the yellowing of the substrate material becomes invisible from an appearance of the product, which can effectively alleviate the problem of the yellowing of the substrate material. Further, an interference of the hue of the substrate material in a hue of the non-stick coating system can be reduced, which advances the appearance effect of the non-stick coating system.
According to some embodiments of the present disclosure, to better alleviate the high temperature yellowing problems of the non-stick coating and the substrate material provided with the non-stick coating, the first pigment may include at least one of a white pigment and a whitish pigment. In some embodiments, the white pigment may include at least one of titanium, a titanium compound, zinc oxide, aluminum oxide, or mica. In some embodiments, the titanium compound may include titanium oxide. In some embodiments, the titanium oxide is a white inorganic pigment which is non-toxic and has optimal opacity and optimal whiteness and radiance, and which has a high adhesion force, is not prone to chemical reaction, is always snow white, and has no yellowing after being heated at a high temperature. Therefore, the first pigment has extensive material sources and a better yellowing shielding effect, and has no influence on the non-stick performance of the non-stick coating and a binding force between the non-stick coating and the substrate material.
According to some embodiments of the present disclosure, with a white hue as a benchmark, a color difference between the hue of the first pigment and the white hue may be in a range from 0 to 30, particularly from 0 to 15, e.g., 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 20, 25, 30, etc. The first pigment itself has a better yellowing resistance effect and a better yellowing shielding effect.
According to embodiments of the present disclosure, a particle size of the first pigment may be in a range from 5 μm to 25 μm, e.g., 5 μm, 8 μm, 10 μm, 12 μm, 5 μm, 8 μm, 0 μm, 22 μm, 25 μm, etc. Within this particle size range, the first pigment has a better color developing effect, a better yellowing resistance effect, and a better yellowing shielding effect, can be dispersed easily, and thus can better cooperate with other components in the non-stick coating, facilitating the preparation of the non-stick coating while improving the quality of the non-stick coating. When the particle size of the first pigment is greater than the above range, the first pigment has poor dispersibility in a coating material forming the undercoat, which results in a poor yellowing shielding effect.
According to the embodiments of the present disclosure, a mass percentage of the first pigment ranges from 5% to 40%, particularly from 12% to 27%, e.g., 5%, 8%, 10%, 12%, 13%, 14%, 15%, 16%, 17%, 18%, 19%, 20%, 21%, 22%, 23%, 24%, 25%, 26%, 27%, 30%, 32%, 35%, 8%, 40%, etc., based on a total mass of the undercoat. Within this content range, the non-stick coating has an optimal color effect, an optimal shielding force, and an optimal anti-corrosion performance. Both the bonding force and the anti-corrosion performance of the non-stick coating will be affected if the content of the first pigment is too large, and the shielding force of the non-stick coating will be reduced if the content the first pigment is too small.
According to the embodiments of the present disclosure, it should be understood that, the undercoat may further include a first matrix resin in addition to the first pigment. The first pigment may be dispersed in the first matrix resin. According to some embodiments of the present disclosure, the first matrix resin may include at least one of polyethersulfone or polytetrafluoroethylene. Therefore, the non-stick coating has a better bonding force with the substrate material provided with the non-stick coating, and the non-stick coating also has better non-stick performance.
According to embodiments of the present disclosure, in accordance with use requirements, the undercoat may further include at least one of a high temperature resistant resin, a first surfactant, a first pH regulator, or a wear resistant particle. In particular, the first matrix resin and the high temperature resistant resin have a relatively high bonding force and thus can well bind to the substrate material provided with the non-stick coating, and they also have a relatively good corrosion prevention effect. The high temperature resistant resin may include at least one of polyphenylene sulfide (PPS), polyamide-imide (PAI), or polyetheretherketone (PEEK). The first surfactant may include at least one of a nonionic surfactant or an anionic surfactant. The first pH regulator may include at least one of ammonia water, triethylamine, or diethanolamine. The wear resistant particle includes at least one of Al2O3, SiO2, or SiC. The above-mentioned components can enable the non-stick coating to have a better use effect. In particular, the first surfactant can enable the coating to be more uniform to facilitate storage and can reduce surface energy of the coating material to facilitate construction. The first pH regulator can improve and stabilize the pH value of the coating material, and thus the coating material has a stable viscosity beneficial to construction. The wear resistant particle can greatly improve a wear resistance and a service life of the non-stick coating.
According to embodiments of the present disclosure, the undercoat may have a thickness ranging from 6 μm to 30 μm, e.g., 6 μm, 10 μm, 15 μm, 20 μm, 25 μm, 30 μm, etc. Within this thickness range, the coating material has an optimal corrosion resistance and an optimal wear resistance. If the thickness is too large, the coating is prone to cracking and is prone to sagging during spraying. If the thickness is too small, the corrosion resistance, the wear resistance, and the shielding force of the coating will be reduced.
According to embodiments of the present disclosure, the topcoat may include a second pigment. Adding the second pigment into the topcoat enables the pigment in the topcoat to shield part of the substrate material that is not shielded by the first pigment. A difference in the pigment distributions of the two times of coating is used to improve a shielding rate to the hue of the substrate material.
According to embodiments of the present disclosure, a hue of the second pigment in the topcoat may be identical to or different from the hue of the first pigment. Therefore, a combination of the first pigment and the second pigment can better alleviate the yellowing problems of the non-stick coating and the substrate material provided with the non-stick coating, and enable the non-stick coating system to take on a better hue, which advances the appearance of the non-stick coating system. On the one hand, using pigments having different hues improves the appearance effect of the non-stick coating system. On the other hand, adding into the topcoat the second pigment different from the first pigment can improve the shielding to the hue of the substrate material by means of a color rendering effect by superposition of the different hues. According to embodiments of the present disclosure, the second pigment includes a metallic-colored pigment. Therefore, the second color is metallic-colored to enable the topcoat to take on a metallic luster, which has a strong shielding force and can effectively alleviate a yellowing influence.
According to embodiments of the present disclosure, the metallic-colored pigment is a flake-shaped pigment, and orthographic projections of at least two flakes of the flake-shaped pigment in a direction perpendicular to the non-stick coating overlap with each other. Therefore, the metallic luster of the coating can be improved to avoid a phenomenon of an uneven color and reduce a possible hue of the substrate material that is not shielded. Further, an occurrence of variegated colors can be reduced to improve the appearance of the product. According to some embodiments of the present disclosure, the metallic-colored pigment may include at least one of silver powder or aluminum powder. In some examples, the metallic-colored pigment may include at least one of a silver paste or an aluminum paste. Main components of the aluminum paste are snowflake-shaped aluminum particles and a petroleum solvent, and the aluminum paste is in a paste form. The aluminum paste has features including a smooth and flat surface of the aluminum flake, a concentrated particle size distribution, a regular shape, an excellent light reflection capability, a metallic luster, and a higher shielding capability. Particularly, the smaller the particle size of the aluminum powder and the silver powder is, the stronger metallic feeling and the stronger shielding force the aluminum powder and the silver powder have. In some embodiments, the silver powder and the aluminum powder each independently have a particle size ranging from 2 μm to 70 μm, in particular from 3 μm to 20 μm, e.g., 2 μm, 3 μm, 5 μm, 10 μm, 20 μm, 30 μm, 40 μm, 50 μm, 60 μm, 70 μm, etc. Within this particle size range, a non-stick fluorine coating has an excellent yellowing alleviating effect.
According to the embodiments of the present disclosure, a mass percentage of the second pigment ranges from 1.5% to 12%, e.g., 1.5%, 2%, 3%, 4%, 5%, 6%, 7%, 8%, 9%, 10%, 11%, 12%, etc., based on a total mass of the topcoat. Within this content range, the coating has an optimal appearance effect and other properties of the coating are unaffected. If the content of the second pigment is too large, too much of the second pigment will be suspended to influence the non-stickiness of the coating and the bonding force of the coating. If the content of the second pigment is too small, the shielding force will be reduced, the color difference becomes larger, and the required appearance effect cannot be achieved.
According to embodiments of the present disclosure, the fluorine-containing resin in the topcoat may include polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE). A PTFE resin mainly has a non-stick effect, and can impart a good non-stick effect to the non-stick coating. In some embodiments, the topcoat may have a thickness ranging from 8 μm to 20 μm, e.g., 8 μm, 10 μm, 12 μm, 15 μm, 18 μm, 20 μm, etc. Within this thickness range, the coating has an optimal non-stick performance and an optimal corrosion resistance performance. The coating will crack if the coating is too thick. The non-stick performance of the coating will decrease if the coating is too thin.
According to embodiments of the present disclosure, in accordance with the use requirements, the topcoat may further include at least one of a second surfactant or a second pH regulator. In some embodiments, the second surfactant may include at least one of a nonionic surfactant or an anionic surfactant. The second pH regulator may include at least one of ammonia water, triethylamine, or diethanolamine. The second surfactant can reduce the surface energy of the coating material to facilitate the construction and can promote stability of the coating material to facilitate the storage. The second pH regulator can stabilize the pH value of the coating material.
According to some embodiments of the present disclosure, the first matrix resin is a mixture of polyethersulfone and polytetrafluoroethylene; the white pigment is titanium oxide; the second matrix resin is the polytetrafluoroethylene; and the metallic-colored pigment is the silver paste or the aluminum paste. Therefore, a cooperation and synergistic effect between different matrix resins and different pigments enables the non-stick coating to have a better shielding capability and thus a better yellowing alleviating effect.
According to embodiments of the present disclosure, the topcoat may cover an entire surface of the undercoat, or may only cover a partial surface of the undercoat. When the topcoat covers the entire surface of the undercoat, the non-stick coating may take on the hue of the second pigment or a hue between the hue of the first pigment and the hue of the second pigment (i.e., the non-stick coating takes on a superposition effect of a color of the first pigment and a color of the second pigment). However, when the topcoat only covers the partial surface of the undercoat, the hue taken on by the non-stick coating is substantially identical to the hue of the substrate material. Therefore, an outer surface of the product can have a consistent hue, which improves the consistency and beauty degree of the appearance.
According to embodiments of the present disclosure, a color difference ΔE between a hue of the non-stick coating and the hue of the substrate material ranges from 2 to 8, particularly from 2.5 to 6, e.g., 2, 2.5, 3, 3.5, 4, 4.5, 5, 5.5, 6, 6.5, 7, 7.5, 8, etc., with the hue of the substrate material as a benchmark. Therefore, a color difference between the non-stick coating and a specific material can be reduced to improve consistency of an overall appearance.
In another aspect, the present disclosure provides a non-stick coating material group. According to embodiments of the present disclosure, the non-stick coating material group includes: an undercoat material and a topcoat material. A hue of at least one material in the undercoat material is adapted to shield a hue of a substrate material. The topcoat material includes a fluorine-containing resin. In the coating material group, by adding into the undercoat material the material adapted to shield the hue of the substrate material, yellowing of the substrate material provided with a coating formed by the non-stick coating material group can be shielded, and the yellowing of the coating itself can also be avoided.

With the above components and content ranges, the coating has the optimal corrosion resistance performance, non-stick performance, and color effect.
According to embodiments of the present disclosure, the first solvent and the second solvent mentioned above are mainly used to dissolve the resin. In some embodiments, the first solvent and the second solvent may each independently include at least one of N-methylpyrrolidone (NMP), ethanol, isopropanol, propylene glycol, glycerol, toluene, xylene, or diethylene glycol ether. Therefore, a dissolving effect is better, and the cost is low.
In yet another aspect, the present disclosure provides a method for preparing the non-stick coating as described above. According to embodiments of the present disclosure, the method includes: stirring and mixing the first solvent, the first surfactant, the deionized water, and the first pH regulator to obtain a first mixture; adding the first matrix resin dispersion liquid and the temperature resistant resin into the first mixture, and mixing well by stirring to obtain a second mixture; adding the first pigment and the wear resistant particles to the second mixture to obtain a undercoat material; stirring and mixing the second solvent, the second surfactant, deionized water, and the second pH regulator to obtain a third mixture; adding a fluorine-containing resin emulsion into the third mixture, and mixing well by stirring to obtain a fourth mixture; adding the second pigment into the fourth mixture to obtain a topcoat material; applying the undercoat material by compressed air spraying, and performing first baking and curing to obtain a undercoat; and applying the topcoat material on a surface of the undercoat by compressed air spraying, and performing second baking and curing to obtain a topcoat. The method is simple and convenient to operate, has no harsh requirements for the device and the technical personnel, and is thus easy for industrial production, low in cost, and good in an economic efficiency.
In some embodiments, the method may include the following steps: adding the first solvent, the first surfactant, deionized water, and the first pH regulator in a proper proportion into a stirring container to perform stirring and mixing, adding a polyethersulfone (PES) dispersion liquid and the temperature resistant resin, mixing well by stirring, adding titanium oxide and the wear resistant particles to prepare a undercoat material, applying the undercoat material onto a rough and clean surface of a metal substrate material by compressed air spraying, and performing moderate baking, curing and cooling to obtain a undercoat having a film thickness ranging from 6 μm to 30 μm; and adding the second solvent, the second surfactant, deionized water, and the second pH regulator in a proper proportion into a stirring container to perform stirring and mixing, adding a polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) emulsion, mixing well by stirring, adding the aluminum paste or silver paste to prepare a topcoat material, applying the topcoat material onto a surface of the undercoat by compressed air spraying, and performing moderate baking, curing and cooling to obtain a topcoat having a film thickness ranging from 8 μm to 20 μm.

According to some embodiments of the present disclosure, a hue of at least part of the cooking device in an initial state is identical to a hue of the at least part of the cooking device in a heated state.

Performance Test
The test method includes: cutting a surface of a test sample using a cross-cut tester to form 10×10 (100) small grids (1 mm×1 mm), each cutting line being deep to an undercoat of the non-stick coating; cleaning away fragments in a test region using a brush; firmly adhering the small grids to be tested by using 3M600 adhesive tape or an adhesive tape of equal effect, and wiping the adhesive tape hard by using an eraser to increase a contact area and contact strength between the adhesive tape and the test region; and after standing still for 3 minutes to 5 minutes, grasping an end of the adhesive tape with a hand, quickly pulling off the adhesive paper in a vertical direction (90°/60°), and performing the same test at the same position twice. Adhesion force determining criteria is as follows.
Level 0: a cutting edge is completely smooth with no grid falling off.
Level 1: a little coating at an intersection of the cuts peels off, but a cross-cut area affected cannot be significantly greater than 5%.
Level 2: the coating peels off at the intersection of the cuts or along the cut edge. The cross-cut area affected is significantly greater than 5%, but cannot be significantly greater than 15%.
Level 3: the coating peels off along the cutting edge partially or completely in large fragments, and/or the coating on different positions in the grids partially or completely peels off. The cross-cut area affected is significantly greater than 15%, but cannot be significantly greater than 35%.
Level 4: the coating peels off along the cutting edge in large fragments and/or the coating on some grids peels off. The cross-cut area affected is significantly greater than 35%, but cannot be significantly greater than 65%.
Level 5: a degree of peeling off exceeds that of the level 4.
The test method includes: 1. pouring a proper amount of vegetable oil into a cooking utensil, and wiping a non-stick surface of the cooking utensil with a soft cloth until the surface is uniformly coated with the vegetable oil;
The non-stick performance determination criteria are as follows: the egg was taken out with no damage and no residue left by a plastic shovel having a blade thickness of 0.2 mm to 0.5 mm. When 10 or more eggs are continuously fried and taken out with no damage and no residue left, the non-stick performance is level 1. When 5 eggs are continuously fried and taken out with no damage and no residue is left, the non-stick performance is level 2. When 1 egg is continuously fried and taken out with no damage and no residue left, the non-stick performance is level 3. When no egg can be taken out in a complete form but no residue is left, the non-stick performance is level 4. When no egg can be taken out in a complete form and residues are left, the non-stick performance is level 5.
3. Color Difference Test
The specific test method includes: measuring a color difference by a color difference tester, with a stainless steel metal substrate (not heated) as a benchmark, a color difference ΔE being equal to 0 (the smaller the ΔE, the smaller the color difference). The color difference ΔE between the stainless steel metal substrate after being heated at 350° C. and the stainless steel metal substrate before being heated was 32.76.
Performance test results of the examples and the comparative example are illustrated in Table 1 below.
The color difference between the unheated sample and the benchmark substrate mainly reflects the color of the non-stick coating itself. However, a smaller change of the color difference between the sample and the benchmark substrate before and after heating (including becoming larger and smaller) represents that the non-stick coating has a better yellowing resistant performance and a better shielding force. Based on this, it can be seen from the above data:
To sum up, when the non-stick coating is added with a material, which has a proper content and a proper particle size and is adapted to shield the hue of the substrate material and form the undercoat having the moderate thickness, the high temperature yellowing problem of the non-stick coating and the high temperature yellowing problem of the substrate material can be effectively solved on the basis of no change in the performance of the non-stick coating. The color difference of the sample after high temperature heating (350° C.) is small, which can satisfy the requirements of the cooking device.
