  • Patent number: 8227044
    Abstract: A process for applying at least one layer of material on a metallic object base body of a kitchen appliance includes providing a fibrous material having carbon fibers added to the at least one layer of material before, after, or during the application of that layer. The process further includes subsequently hardening at least one layer of material. After the hardening, there is a rough surface with spatial frequency fractions ranging from 3 ?m?1 to 1000 ?m?1. The at least one layer of material defines a top free surface, and the carbon fibers have fiber ends sticking out of the top free surface. The process further includes producing the rough surface as a free coating surface having self-cleaning and/or anti-adhesive properties.

    Abstract: The base body of an object provided with a coating (5; 21) can be metallic or non metallic. The base body is preferably the base body of a kitchen appliance. At least one layer of the coating (5; 21) comprises a coating material with a fibrous material which deforms the surface of the coating with spatial frequency fractions ranging from 3 ?m?1 to 1000 ?m?1. If the surface of the layer is a free coating surface, the roughness generated by the spatial frequency fractions generates a self-cleaning effect and/or improves an anti-adhesive effect. If the surface of the layer is a boundary surface to another layer, the layers mesh, producing an improved adherence between the layers.
