Abstract: A culinary article formed from a metal support and a non-stick coating deposited at least on the surface of the metal support constituting the interior of the culinary article, where the non-stick coating includes at least two coats based on fluorocarbonated resin, with one of these two coats, which covers at least the worked surface of the interior of the culinary article, being a discontinuous coat forming patterns. Any cross section of the culinary article, at least at its worked surface, has regular interruptions in the plane of the discontinuous coat, and each pattern has an area of at least 1 mm2, in a top view of the interior of the culinary article. The composition of the discontinuous coat formed by the patterns can include at least one fluorocarbonated resin, in addition to fillers.

Abstract: The non-stick coating of the invention comprises at least one primer layer comprising a fluorocarbon resin and inorganic particles, the primer layer being applied on a support and covered in one or more finishing layers based on fluorocarbon resin. The inorganic particles are ceramic particles having a mean diameter less than 4 &mgr;m. The coating is particularly suitable for cooking utensils.

Abstract: A non-stick coating with improved scratch resistance comprises an undercoat applied to a substrate, coated with a primary coat comprising a fluorocarbon resin and one or more fluorocarbon resin-based outer coats. The undercoat comprises at least 50% by weight of the polymer oxy-1,4-phenylene-oxy-1,4-phenylene-carbonyl-1,4-phenylene, known as PEEK, and is free of fluorocarbon resin.

Abstract: A heating appliance, such as a cooking container, has an inside surface coating including a decoration which changes color as a function of temperature. A decoration based on a thermostable resin and a chemical substance which changes color as a function of temperature is applied over a fluorocarbon resin coating on the inside of the container.

Abstract: A non-stick coating with improved scratch resistance comprises an undercoat applied to a substrate, coated with a primary coat comprising a fluorocarbon resin and one or more fluorocarbon resin-based outer coats, characterized in that the undercoat is exclusively constituted by the polymer oxy-1,4-phenylene-oxy-1,4-phenylene-carbonyl-1,4-phenylene, known as PEEK.

Abstract: A multilayer non-stick coating of improved hardness for aluminum articles includes an alumina-based hard first layer obtained by anodic oxidation of the aluminum article immersed in an alkaline solution. Micro-arcs are applied to the article by means of a high current and a high potential difference. A second polytetrafluoroethylene-based layer constitutes a primer for one or more polytetrafluoroethylene-based finish layers.

Abstract: The process permits applying a fluorocarbonated resin base coating on a flat metallic support (4). According to the invention, this coating is applied in a continuous manner, directly on the support (4) by serigraphy. Use particularly to coat cooking utensils with a layer of fluorocarbonated resin. (See FIG. 2).

Abstract: A smoothing or pressing or steam iron having a metallic sole-plate that comes into contact with articles to be ironed and has a series of substantially parallel ribs (6, 7) whose width and height are within the range of a few tenths of a millimeter to a few millimeters. The sole-plate has an exposed surface having a continuous anti-adhesive coating (8) selected from the group consisting of fluorocarbon resin and enamel. The coating follows the profile of the ribs. The ribs extend in a longitudinal direction of the sole-plate. Each rib has either a rounded crest or a pointed crest.

Abstract: The smoothing or pressing or steam iron has a metallic sole-plate (1) provided with an anti-adhesive coating (2). The sole-plate surface overf the anti-adhesive coating has a series of projections (3) formed by an anti-adhesive coating based on fluorocarbon resin, with the result that the iron glides easily over textile fabrics.

Abstract: A method for forming a decoration on a coating of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) applied on a metallic substrate as applicable in particular to internal and/or external decoration of culinary utensils, and comprising the following steps:forming an anti-adhesive layer of a composition based on an aqueous dispersion of PTFE, which may or may not be colored, on the metallic substrate,after drying and prior to sintering of the anti-adhesive layer, applying on this layer through a serigraphic screen a colored composition containing an aqueous dispersion or a powder of fluorocarbon resin to which are added a thickening and/or gelling agent and a solvent which is miscible with water and has a vapor pressure below that of water after drying,baking the two layers thus obtained simultaneously in order to sinter all the particles of PTFE and of fluorocarbon resin.
