Abstract: A fired hybrid enamel coating is provided. The hybrid enamel coating is formed by firing an enamel composition on a substrate. The enamel composition includes at least a first glass frit, which is sintered to form the hybrid enamel coating. The hybrid enamel coating can be cleaned using aqualytic or pyrolytic cleaning methods, and does not discolor or lose gloss when subject to typical pyrolytic cleaning methods. The hybrid enamel coating does not require the application of highly caustic cleaners to remove the baked-on soils.

Abstract: The present invention provides a composition for use in forming an abrasion-resistant easy-to-clean coating on a substrate. The composition according to the invention includes a mixture of a fluorocarbon polymer component and an enamel-forming component. The enamel-forming component includes at least a first lead-free and cadmium-free glass frit. The first lead-free and cadmium-free glass frit includes from about 30% to about 50% P2O5, from about 15% to about 30% Al2O3, and from about 2% to about 40% X2O where X=Na and/or K. The present invention also provides a method of forming an abrasion-resistant easy-to-clean coating on a substrate. The method includes applying the composition according to the invention to a substrate and sintering the applied composition to fuse an abrasion-resistant easy-to-clean coating to the substrate.
