  • Pyrolytic hybrid enamel
    Patent number: 10427973
    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.
