Technical Breakthrough on Ceramic Coating

November 1, 2011
GMM Development Limited has announced a technical breakthrough on DURACERAM®, resulting in a tremendous increase in food release properties.

GMM Development Limited has announced a technical breakthrough on DURACERAM®, the company's flagship ceramic coating, resulting in a tremendous increase in food release properties.

Ceramic coatings have grown tremendously in popularity over the past four years due to their high durability and lack of fluoropolymer usage.  However, the functional problem with ceramics is their nonstick properties have been terrible compared to typical release coatings applied on cookware, bakeware,and electrics.

According to Raymond Chung, co-founder of GMM, “For the first time, the GMM lab has created a ceramic nonstick that can truly compete head to head with a typical nonstick.  This is a real game changer because ceramics are getting more and more popular as a green technology. With our breakthroughs in DURACERAM, we may be seeing the beginning of the end of fluoropolymer coatings in the housewares market.”

DURACERAM, a cutting-edge, two-coat ceramic coating, is totally free of PTFE and has unparalleled durability and abrasion resistance. Unlike other ceramic coatings, DURACERAM has food release capabilities that go beyond "easy clean." DURACERAM is perfect for applications where there is a high need for temperature resistance such as woks, iron sole plates and curling irons. DURACERAM reaches a previously unheard of pencil hardness of 8-9H, while still maintaining excellent heat resistance properties and moderate nonstick properties.

It can be applied on various metal substrates with light grit blasting, and its low baking temperature provides great enegry and cost savings. DURACERAM meets the FDA standard 21CFR 175-300 as well as all ROHS standards.

Initially, DURACERAM will be used in the high-end electric appliance market, followed by the midrange cookware market.
