High-hardness ceramic resistant to scratches from picks. Reduces sticking and bakes to a crisp! Completely PFAS-free and compliant with food sanitation laws for safety.
This is a technical case study on the application of a high-hardness ceramic coating "Biceram" for metal takoyaki plates used in the food service industry, food processing lines, and household cooking utensils. The coating forms a high-performance film with a uniform thickness over complex three-dimensional shapes, from the interior of the hemispherical recesses to the flat surface of the plate. **Main Improvement Effects from Implementation** - **Scratch Resistance Against Metal Picks**: Achieves an extremely high surface hardness with a pencil hardness of [9H]. It is resistant to scratches even with repeated rubbing from metal picks, and unlike fluoropolymer coatings, it does not peel off early, maintaining initial release properties for a long time. - **Prevention of Sticking and Adhesion for Stable Cooking Quality**: The exceptional non-stick properties suppress sticking of batter, ingredients, and sauces. It prevents deformation, supporting a crispy exterior and juicy interior in the finished product. - **Completely PFAS-Free and Compliant with Food Sanitation Laws**: No organic fluorine compounds are used (PFAS-free). It complies with food sanitation laws and can safely respond to future environmental regulation risks. - **Simplification of Cleaning and Maintenance After Use**: Burnt residues can be easily removed, reducing cleaning time for stores and factories.

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.
