Smooth release even with complex molds! PTFE coating for kugelhopf molds.
Fluoropolymer coating
【Prevention of deformation and improvement of yield】Excellent non-stick properties and heat resistance. Reduces release agent usage, increases work efficiency, and dramatically simplifies the cleaning and maintenance of deep molds!
The shape defects of products caused by "dough sticking" and "poor release from molds" in the manufacturing process of Western-style confections and food are significant challenges that reduce production efficiency and yield. ■ Release Coating for Traditional Baked Goods and Gugelhupf Molds For metal Gugelhupf molds with very complex and three-dimensional shapes, such as beautifully spiraled wave patterns and central protrusions, a uniform thickness of fluoropolymer PTFE coating is applied down to the finest details. ■ Purpose of the Coating The primary goal is to impart "non-stick (release)" and "heat resistance." The coating is resistant to degradation even in the harsh thermal environment during baking, thoroughly preventing dough from sticking and corner adhesion. This allows the baked Gugelhupf to smoothly and cleanly release from the mold, significantly reducing the deformation of delicate products and directly improving yield in the production process. Additionally, it minimizes (or eliminates) the need for the application of release oils (butter or oil), leading to cost savings on raw materials and reducing the time required for application. This strongly supports the streamlining and automation of the manufacturing line.

basic information
【Processing Technology】 Contract Fluororesin Coating (PTFE) 【Coating Properties】 ■ Excellent Non-Stick Properties (Release Properties) Extremely low friction coefficient prevents adhesion of highly sticky materials. ■ High Heat Resistance Boasts a continuous use temperature of 260°C, suitable for high-temperature baking processes in Western confectionery. ■ Uniform Thin Film Application Uniformly coats even the intricate details of deep shapes with significant irregularities, central protrusions, and fine wave patterns. 【Safety】 ■ Complies with Food Sanitation Law Can be safely introduced for applications that come into direct contact with food. 【Base Materials (Target Materials)】 ■ Compatible with metal molds and jigs made of aluminum, steel (iron), stainless steel, etc. *We are flexible in accommodating not only new applications on molds but also "peeling and re-coating" when existing coatings have deteriorated or worn out.

Applications/Examples of results
**Main Uses** - Metal molds for Western confectionery production (such as kugelhopf molds, madeleine molds, canelé molds, and one-pound bread molds) - Baking trays, forming jigs, and transport chutes for food and bread production lines - Automated equipment parts for handling highly adhesive dough (ingredients containing high amounts of sugar, butter, and fats) **Examples of Implementation** - Applied in mass production lines for high-end baked goods (kugelhopf) at major confectionery factories. - Before implementation: Dough would stick to the deep, complex wave patterns at the corners of the molds, resulting in poor release and causing a certain percentage of products to crumble with each baking, leading to reduced yield. Additionally, applying butter to the molds and cleaning off burnt residues after use required significant time and effort. - After implementation: With PTFE coating, mold deformation became almost zero, dramatically improving product yield. The reduction in the amount of release oil used successfully lowered raw material costs. Furthermore, post-use cleaning became as simple as "just rinsing with water," significantly reducing maintenance labor and utility costs. The need for scrubbing was eliminated, preventing wear and corrosion of the molds themselves, achieving longer lifespan of the jigs (sustainable operation).

Company information
Nikken Coating Industry Co., Ltd. has been a specialized manufacturer of functional coatings for contract processing, earning the trust of customers across various industries for 79 years since its founding. We leverage our processing technology to maximize the properties of fluororesins, such as non-stick, lubricity, and chemical resistance, providing high-performance coatings that directly address customer challenges, including "Thermo Pro Release" for thermal welding processes and "NonStick STC" for blades and precision molds. In recent years, in response to movements regarding regulations on fluorinated compounds (PFAS), "PEEK resin," which is gaining attention as a substitute for fluororesins, has become a focus. Nikken Coating Industry commercialized the world's first PEEK resin coating, "PEEKCOAT," in 1999. Based on the solid knowledge and know-how accumulated over more than 20 years, we are further intensifying our research and development efforts to explore the potential of next-generation PEEK coatings! We aim to be recognized as "the go-to for PEEK coatings" and will continue to lead the way. As "the best partner for functional coatings that builds trust through technology," Nikken Coating Industry will continue to contribute to the creation of high-quality, high-performance products.
