Description

[0001] The invention applies to the field of non-stick coatings for cooking surfaces of cookware and electric cooking appliances.

[0002] Cookware coated with PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) is popular because it allows for cooking with little or no added fat and is easy to clean. However, an inherent weakness of these coatings is their low mechanical resistance, especially at high temperatures.

[0003] To remedy this, numerous technical solutions have been proposed, which consist of reinforcing the coating with hard fillers or by interposing hard underlayers of inorganic or organic type.

[0004] In the case of primers reinforced with hard organic or inorganic fillers, significant improvements in abrasion resistance are indeed observed, but impacts to the metal are also observed when cooking foods such as pork ribs or when using metal spatulas.

[0005] In the case of hard inorganic bases such as those made from enamel or metal oxides, abrasion resistance is further improved and the problem of impacts is limited but not eliminated.

[0006] We are also familiar with organic polymer underlayers. These underlayers effectively reduce the appearance of scratches considerably, or even eliminate them altogether. This strategy is therefore very promising. The polymers used are very often thermoplastics with high heat resistance and a high melting point, such as polyaryl ether ketones, particularly oxy-1,4-phenylene-oxy-1,4-phenylene-carbonyl-1,4-phenylene (PEEK), or phenylene sulfides.

[0007] PEEK polymer is of interest in culinary articles because it has a high melting point (343°C) and excellent thermal stability under usage conditions at 260°C.

[0008] The following coating techniques can be used to obtain an undercoat from this type of polymer: spray coating, roller coating, curtain coating, pad printing, screen printing, thermal spraying, electrostatic spraying, inkjet printing.

[0009] Application WO 2000 / 54895 specifies the use of an undercoat composed solely of PEEK (with particle sizes ranging from 5 µm to 100 µm, and preferably with a d50 of 20 µm) deposited on a metallic substrate, covering between 60% and 95% of the article's surface, and then coated with a single- or multi-layer non-stick coating based on fluorinated resins and fluorinated copolymers. The PEEK undercoat is applied either by pad printing or screen printing, or by spraying as a dispersion.

[0010] The thickness of this PEEK layer is between 5 µm and 100 µm.

[0011] The drawback of the process as described is that it requires a double firing of the PEEK-based fluorinated coating. The first firing requires a temperature above the melting point of the polymer composing the underlayer (between 380 and 400°C for PEEK) to allow its adhesion to the metal substrate. The article must then be cooled significantly, which is very costly in terms of time and energy, but essential for applying the successive fluorinated layers that will be sintered during a second firing at a high temperature (> 420°C).

[0012] Application WO 2010 / 130954 describes a hard undercoat forming a continuous network, deposited discontinuously on the inner surface of the cookware. The material composing this undercoat is a ceramic (alumina-titanium mixture) or a metal or polymer (PAI, PEI, PI, PES, PPS, PEK, or PEEK). The surface area of ​​the cookware covered by this material is between 30% and 80%, and the spacing between the deposited droplets is between 2 µm and 50 µm. The surface of this hard undercoat has a roughness (Ra) of 2 µm to 12 µm, preferably 4 µm to 8 µm.

[0013] This material is projected by a flame spray process in powder form with a particle size preferably between 20 µm and 45 µm.

[0014] It is necessary to preheat the metallic substrate strongly before proceeding with the deposition of powders by flame spray above 180°C.

[0015] The fluorinated layers are then deposited by spray coating once the coating has cooled to room temperature. A single sintering at 430°C is then performed.

[0016] In patent FR 2 871 038, it is mentioned the use of a PEEK underlayer, with a PAI resin and fluorinated resins deposited on a metallic substrate then covered with a non-stick coating in one or more layers and without the presence of PEEK in these upper layers.

[0017] The underlayer is composed of a mixture of PAI, PEEK and PTFE such that the PTFE is between 9 and 15% w and the PAI resin is between 4 and 5% w.

[0018] In all cases the PEEK dry matter content in the final fluorinated film is in the range of 0.12% to 1.1% w, preferably 0.12% to 0.9% w.

[0019] PEEK powder has a D50 particle size of 5 to 35 µm.

[0020] In all cases, the first coating layer contains fluorinated resins.

[0021] This liquid coating is applied by spraying. Top layers of fluorinated coatings, also containing one or more adhesion primers, are then applied by spraying. All these layers are sintered in a single firing at 400 to 420°C.

[0022] The disadvantage of this application method is that the PEEK resin content in the first layer is very low and does not allow for sufficient mechanical performance to achieve a scratch-resistant coating.

[0023] In application WO 00 / 054896, it is mentioned that a PEEK undercoat without fluorinated resin is used, consisting of at least 50% by weight of PEEK powder, so that the PEEK-covered surface is between 60% and 95% of the surface of the article.

[0024] This primer, which contains at least 50% PEEK, may also contain a mixture with other pure or mixed thermostable resins such as polyphenylene sulfide (PPS), polyetherimide (PEI), polyimide (PI), polyetherketone (PEK), polyethersulfone (PES), polyamideimide (PAI).

[0025] It may also contain fillers selected from among metallic oxides: silica, mica, or lamellar fillers. It does not contain any fluorinated resin.

[0026] The first firing is carried out at a high temperature of at least 260°C, preferably greater than or equal to 340°C to melt the PEEK.

[0027] PEEK is in powder form with a particle size between 4 µm and 80 µm, with a d50 preferably of 20 µm. The thickness of this underlayer is between 5 µm and 100 µm.

[0028] This liquid coating is applied by spraying. Top layers of fluorinated coatings, or even primers with fluorinated topcoats, are then applied by spraying. All these layers are sintered in a second firing to sinter the fluorinated coating, at a temperature between 400°C and 420°C.

[0029] US patent 6,596,380 B1 describes a scratch-resistant fluorinated coating whose first layer contains at least 50% by weight of PEEK (preferably between 60% and 95%), mixed with a thermostable polymer resin such as PPS, PEI, PI, PAI and mixtures thereof, and fillers such as metal oxides, silica, micas, and in the absence of any fluorinated resin. This first layer has a thickness of between 5 and 100 µm.

[0030] PEEK is a powder with a particle size of 4 µm to 80 µm with a d50 of the order of 20 µm.

[0031] However, the process of obtaining such a coating necessarily involves a double-cooking / sintering between 400 and 420°C.

[0032] Pure silicone resins are described as non-stick and resistant to temperatures above 220-230°C. However, they are considered to have poor adhesion to the substrate.

[0033] Conversely, silicone-polyester resins are widely used in mold making because they are non-stick while still adhering to the substrate and are compatible with stamping processes. However, they degrade at temperatures above 230°C. Indeed, the operating temperature range for cookware is between 50 and 250°C, and it is not surprising to reach temperatures of 300°C or even 350°C in the case of items with induction bases. Their use is therefore incompatible with the operating temperatures required for cookware.

[0034] The present invention addresses the technical problem of improving the scratch and chip resistance of silicone coatings by creating an underlayer in contact with the metallic substrate based on blends of thermoplastic polymers with high thermo-mechanical properties. US 2022 / 073785 A1 describes, for example, a coated cooking element for a cookware item or electric cooking appliance, comprising a metallic substrate coated on at least one face with at least the following layers, in that order, starting from the metallic substrate: bonding undercoat comprising between 20% and 100% by weight of the total weight of the undercoat of one or more polymer(s) (α) selected from the group consisting of polyaryletherketones (PAEK) and one or more polymer(s) selected from the group consisting of polyetherimides (PEI), polyimides (PI), polyamide imides (PAI) and polybenzymidazole (PBI), a topcoat consisting of one or more silicone resin(s). DEFINITIONS

[0035] The term "layer," as used in the present invention, refers to a continuous or discontinuous layer. A continuous layer (also called a monolithic layer) is a single unit forming a flat surface that completely covers the area on which it is laid. A discontinuous layer (or non-monolithic layer) may comprise several parts and is therefore not a single unit.

[0036] The term "base coat", "primer coat", "bonding coat" or "bonding primer" refers to all the layers from the first coat applied directly to the substrate (it is preferable that this coat adheres well to the substrate and provides all its mechanical properties to the coating: hardness, scratch resistance) to the last coat before the first decorative coat.

[0037] The term "finish coat" refers to a continuous, transparent surface layer that allows perfect visibility of the decorative layer while protecting it from mechanical damage and giving the coating its non-stick properties. Preferably, the final finish coat is intended to come into contact with food.

[0038] The term "decoration" or "decorative layer" refers to one or more continuous or discontinuous layers comprising a pigment composition. The decoration may take the form of one or more patterns, or one or more colors. A decoration is clearly visible to the user with the naked eye and from a typical viewing distance.

[0039] The term "overlapping layers" refers to layers that are partially or completely superimposed. These layers may appear in partially overlapping patterns, such as concentric disks.

[0040] The term "adjacent layers" refers to non-overlapping layers. These layers may be in the form of identical or different non-overlapping patterns, preferably distributed uniformly.

[0041] A "temperature reference pigment composition" is defined as a composition containing a pigment that, at a given temperature, indicates to the user that the optimal operating temperature has been reached. This indication is made by comparing the colors of the thermochromic pigment composition with those of the temperature reference pigment composition. The optimal operating temperature is reached either when the colors are identical or when the colors are visually very different.

[0042] The "temperature reference pigment composition" may include a pigment that exhibits: the same color as the thermochromic pigment composition, at the optimal operating temperature, * either because this pigment has the same color at room temperature as the thermochromic pigment composition at the optimal operating temperature, and does not change color with temperature, * or because this pigment has a different color at room temperature than the thermochromic pigment composition which evolves to the same color as the thermochromic pigment composition at the optimal operating temperature, a color very different from that of the thermochromic pigment composition at the optimal operating temperature, whether this pigment changes color or not with temperature evolution.

[0043] The optimal operating temperature can be achieved when the color of the temperature reference pigment composition corresponds to a color indicated in the user guide of the household article including the coating of the invention or to a color indicated on a color scale provided to the user with said article.

[0044] The reference temperature pigment composition is thermochromic or thermostable.

[0045] The reference pigment composition for temperature can be, for example, a reference pigment composition for cooking temperature or an indication of risk of overheating.

[0046] The present invention offers at least one of the following advantages: The coating according to the invention exhibits thermochromic functionality with marked visibility, a contrasting color change over a targeted and centered temperature range, for example around the cooking temperatures of food in a cooking appliance; the coating according to the invention can provide good temperature control during food cooking, which is necessary for health and taste reasons, but also for safety and to limit localized overheating that weakens the coating; the thermochromic pigment composition exhibits reversibility of its thermochromic properties, that is to say, after a color change under the action of heat, the compound returns to its initial state and its initial color when the temperature decreases; this color change cycle (reversibility) can be repeated indefinitely;The coating according to the invention exhibits significant thermal stability during temperature increases; it is stable up to approximately 450°C.

[0047] The term "thermochromic semiconductor," as used in the present invention, refers to a mineral or organic compound that undergoes a reversible color change upon temperature increase. The gradual and reversible thermochromic nature of these semiconductor compounds is due to the narrowing of the semiconductor's band gap caused by material expansion. The periodicity of the anion and cation network leads to the clustering of energy levels into energy bands. The band containing the highest energy is called the valence band, and the band containing the lowest energy is called the conduction band. Between these two bands lies a band gap.The color of a semiconductor material can come from the presence of a charge transfer which corresponds to the passage of an electron either from a valence band to a conduction band on the same atom, or commonly from the orbital of an anion to the orbital of a cation (interatomic photon absorption).

[0048] In the fields of application envisaged for the present invention, the optimal conditions are achieved when the coating reaches a temperature suitable for cooking food, preferably between 100 and 250°C.

[0049] For the purposes of this invention, "thermochromic pigment or pigment composition" means a pigment or pigment composition that changes color with temperature within a given temperature range, and this change is reversible. This color change is visible to the user with the naked eye at normal viewing distances.

[0050] A "thermostable pigment" is defined as a pigment that does not change color when subjected to a temperature rise within a given temperature range, or that changes color when subjected to a temperature rise within a given temperature range so small that it is not visible to the user with the naked eye and at a normal operating distance.

[0051] Preferably, thermostable pigments have a color difference ΔE* between 25°C and 200°C of less than 10, ΔE* being defined by the CIE1976 formula in the CIELAB color space: Δ E * = L 2 * − L 1 * 2 + a 2 * − a 1 * 2 + b 2 * − b 1 * 2 L 1 *, a 1 * and b 1 * characterizing the L*a*b values ​​of said compound at room temperature L 2 *, a 2 * and b 2 * characterizing the L*a*b values ​​of said compound at 200°C.

[0052] By "the colours are identical" we mean indistinguishable by the user to the naked eye and at a normal viewing distance.

[0053] The term "culinary article" should be understood, for the purposes of this invention, as an object intended for cooking. To this end, it is designed to receive heat treatment.

[0054] The expression "object intended to receive heat treatment" should be understood in the context of the present invention as an object which will be heated by an external heating system such as pans, pots, sauté pans, woks, barbecue grills and which is capable of transmitting the heat energy supplied by this external heating system to a material or food in contact with said object.

[0055] The term "electric cooking appliance" should be understood in the context of the present invention as a heating object having its own heating system such as an electric crepe maker, electric raclette appliance, electric fondue appliance, electric grill, electric griddle, electric cooker, bread machine, electric pressure cooking appliance.

[0056] The term “silicone resin-based coating” means a coating which includes one or more silicone resins in one or more of its layers.

[0057] The term "coating" refers to all the layers adhering to and covering the metallic substrate. The coating obtained according to the invention is advantageously solid; "solid" is understood to mean the characteristic of a cohesive material insoluble in water, in common solvents, and in food components such as aqueous or fatty mixtures, even if the material may exhibit high hardness or high flexibility, such as an elastomer.

[0058] In the present invention, % by weight are expressed in dry weight, i.e. without solvent. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

[0097] Advantageously, said metallic substrate (2), also called support, is a substrate of aluminum, stainless steel, cast iron or aluminum, iron, titanium or copper.

[0098] Aluminium is defined as a metal made up of 100% aluminium or an aluminium alloy.

[0099] Advantageously, the metallic substrate (2) is an aluminum substrate, a stainless steel substrate, or a multilayer metallic substrate. The metallic substrate (2) can be a two-layer or three-layer substrate, these multilayers being obtained, for example, by co-lamination, by hot diffusion under load (solid state bonding), or by hot or cold impact bonding.

[0100] Preferably, the metallic substrate (2) comprises an alternation of layers of metal and / or metallic alloy.

[0101] According to one embodiment, the metallic substrate (2) is an aluminum alloy substrate, a stainless steel substrate or a multilayer metallic substrate whose face (2a) is made of aluminum alloy or stainless steel.

[0102] Preferably, the metallic substrate (2) is an aluminum substrate. Advantageously, the thickness of the metallic substrate (2) is between 0.5 mm and 10 mm.

[0103] Advantageously, the face (2a) of the metallic substrate (2) has previously undergone a surface treatment to improve the adhesion of the coating to said substrate.

[0104] According to one embodiment, the surface of the face (2a) of the metallic substrate (2) has undergone a surface treatment, said surface treatment being a chemical attack, a brushing, a hydration, a sandblasting, a shot blasting, a physicochemical treatment of the plasma or corona or laser type, a chemical activation or a combination of these different techniques.

[0105] Advantageously, the surface of the substrate (2a) to which the coating (3) will be applied can be treated to increase its specific surface area; for an aluminum substrate, this treatment can be carried out by anodizing (creation of a tubular alumina structure), chemical etching, sandblasting, brushing, shot peening, or by adding material using a technology such as thermal spraying (flame, plasma, or arc spray). Other metallic substrates can also be polished, sandblasted, brushed, bead-blasted, or have material added using a technology such as thermal spraying (flame, plasma, or arc spray).

[0106] Suitable metallic substrates include, advantageously, anodized or unanodized aluminum substrates, possibly polished, brushed, sandblasted, shot-blasted or micro-bead blasted; anodized or unanodized aluminum alloy substrates, possibly polished, brushed, sandblasted or micro-bead blasted; steel substrates, possibly polished, brushed, sandblasted, shot-blasted or micro-bead blasted; stainless steel substrates, possibly polished, brushed, sandblasted or micro-bead blasted; cast steel, aluminum or iron substrates; and copper substrates, possibly hammered or polished.

[0109] The arithmetic mean roughness Ra is measured using a roughness tester according to ISO 4287. Ra represents the arithmetic mean of the deviations from the mean. Surface topography can be studied, in particular, with a profilometer with a probe equipped with a fine stylus fitted with a diamond tip, or with an optical metrology device such as the Altisurf®, in which a chromatic confocal sensor allows for non-contact measurement. The study of this surface topography allows the arithmetic mean roughness Ra to be defined. SILICONE RESINS

[0110] In the description, the term "silicone resin" is used interchangeably to refer to silicone before or after crosslinking. In the description, "silicone" refers to an organopolysiloxane material. Crosslinking is the process that transforms silicone into an insoluble material, for example, through polyaddition, polycondensation, or dehydrogenation. Crosslinking is carried out using precursors, which are generally silicone oils or resins, that crosslink to form a three-dimensional network, creating a material referred to as silicone resin in the description.

[0111] This crosslinking can be achieved by thermal activation, or chemical activation using a catalyst, such as platinum.

[0112] Silicone resins can be obtained from precursors, advantageously soluble in a solvent or emulsified in water, such as oils or crosslinkable resins, in particular selected from: a silicone hydride, a silicone oil resin comprising at least one vinyl group (-CH=CH₂), a silicone or silicone-polyester resin (copolymer) comprising at least one alkoxy group, for example methoxy or ethoxy, and / or a silicone or silicone-polyester resin (copolymer) comprising at least one alkoxy group, in particular ethoxy, or a hydroxyl group and mixtures thereof. These precursors have the ability to crosslink to obtain a silicone resin characterized by its insolubility and its substantially solid form.

[0113] Advantageously, these precursors are polymeric or oligomeric, either in the form of silicone oils of varying degrees of branching, or in the form of silicone resins of varying degrees of pre-crosslinking, or copolymers of silicone resins such as silicone-polyester, silicone-alkyd, silicone-polyurethane, and silicone-epoxy resins, or in the form of mixtures of silicone oils, silicone resins, and silicone resin copolymers. The silicon atoms may be substituted by alkyl (in particular methyl) or aryl (in particular phenyl) groups, or mixtures thereof. The oils or resins preferably comprise one or more (two, three, or more) hydroxyl or alkoxy (in particular methoxy, ethoxy, or butoxy) functional groups as substituents for the silicon atoms.

[0114] Advantageously, the silicone resin(s), obtained after crosslinking of their precursors, i.e. crosslinked, is / are chosen from the group consisting of methyl silicones and / or phenyl silicones and / or methyl-phenyl-silicones, methyl silicone-polyester resin (copolymers), phenyl silicone-polyester resin (copolymers), methyl-phenyl silicones-polyester resin (copolymers), silicone-alkyd resin (copolymers), modified silicone resin and their mixtures.

[0115] Advantageously, the silicone resin(s) is / are chosen from the group consisting of methyl silicones and / or phenyl silicones and / or methyl-phenyl-silicones, methyl silicone-polyester resin (copolymers), phenyl silicone-polyester resin (copolymers), methyl-phenyl silicones-polyester resin (copolymers), silicone-alkyd resin (copolymers), modified silicone resin and their mixtures.

[0116] Silicone resins can be obtained from precursors, notably chosen from: a silicone hydride, a silicone resin comprising at least one vinyl group (-CH=CH2), a silicone-polyester resin (copolymer) comprising at least one methoxy group, and / or a silicone-polyester resin (copolymer) comprising at least one ethoxy group, and mixtures thereof.

[0117] The silicone resin of the single layer (3) forms a network which may consist of a combination of 4 simple organosiloxane units named M, D, T and Q depending on the degree of substitution by the oxygen of the silicon atom, as described in the following table, where R is an organic substituent described later. Structure Degree of oxygen substitution Symbol R 3 Si-O- 1 M 2 D 3 T 4 Q

[0118] The organopolysiloxane material or polymer is obtained by crosslinking precursors that can be monomeric or polymeric, or, as an intermediate step, oligomeric. The organopolysiloxane polymer can also be obtained from a mixture of these different types of precursors. When the network contains a higher number of T and Q units than D units, the crosslinking density is higher. The distribution of M, D, T, and Q units depends on the chemical structure of the precursors, specifically on this M, D, T, and Q distribution within the precursors.

[0119] The polymeric precursors are organopolysiloxanes. These macromolecules are formed of M, D, T, and / or Q units as described in the table, where R is independently an alkyl group, in particular methyl, or aryl group, in particular phenyl, different natures of R being able to be present on the same macromolecule.

[0120] Organopolysiloxanes can be either linear or sparsely branched (predominantly D groups) or branched or highly branched (predominantly T and Q groups). Linear or sparsely branched organopolysiloxanes are generally liquids, with varying degrees of viscosity at room temperature, and are called silicone oils. Branched or highly branched (pre-crosslinked) organopolysiloxanes form a network at the scale of the individual macromolecule and are called silicone resins. At room temperature, the resins are essentially in solid form, or in liquid form, provided they have a sufficiently low molecular weight, either as a solution in a solvent or as an aqueous emulsion. They can be copolymerized with organic polymers or oligomers that do not contain silicon, particularly polyesters, acrylics, alkyds, polyurethanes, and epoxy resins.

[0121] When crosslinking is a hydrolysis-polycondensation: it is carried out by means of the reactive hydroxy or alkoxy functions, in particular methoxy, ethoxy or butoxy, present on the organopolysiloxane.

[0122] When crosslinking is a polyaddition (or hydrosilylation): it takes place by reaction between the reactive vinyl functions (-CH=CH2) present on one of the organopolysiloxanes and the reactive silyl hydride functions (Si-H) present on the other organopolysiloxane mixed with the first.

[0123] All these reactive functional groups are present on each organopolysiloxane, with at least one present and potentially two, three, or more, as much as the molecular structure allows. Silicone oils containing at least one reactive functional group are called "reactive oils." These reactive functional groups can be located either at the ends of the macromolecular chain (termination) or distributed along the chain.

[0124] Silicone-polyester resins in particular have silicone / polyester mass ratios for example 90 / 10, 80 / 20, 70 / 30, 60 / 40, 50 / 50, 40 / 50, 30 / 70, 20 / 80, 10 / 90, advantageously between 80 / 20 and 50 / 50.

[0125] Linear PDMS silicone oils, pure or pre-emulsified in water, are primarily characterized by their molecular weight, which is directly proportional to the viscosity of the pure oil. They are then characterized by the presence or absence of reactive functional groups, such as hydroxyl groups on the silicon atoms (silanol), their number, and their location on the molecular chain. For example, reactive oils with viscosities between 50 and 20,000 mPa·s, and particularly between 300 and 5,000 mPa·s, can be used, possessing at least one reactive functional group, preferably at least two, which can be located at the ends of the chain (positions □, □).

[0126] Polymeric precursors reacting by polyaddition may include, for example, polymethylhydrosiloxane, vinylmethylsiloxane, vinyl-terminated polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS), particularly linear-terminated diphenylsiloxane-dimethylsiloxane copolymers, hydride-terminated polydimethylsiloxanes, hydride-terminated polyphenylmethylsiloxanes, cyclic vinylmethylsiloxane, vinyl-MQ resin, trimethylsilyl-terminated polymethylhydrosiloxane, trimethylhydrosiloxane-terminated dimethylsiloxane copolymer, MQ resin hydride, and the like, and combinations thereof.

[0127] Polymeric precursors reacting by hydrolysis-polycondensation, whether silicone resins or silicone oils, may include, for example, poly(methylsilsesquioxanes), poly(propylsilsesquioxanes), poly(phenylsilsesquioxanes), polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS), polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS), trimethylsilyl-terminated polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS), hydroxyl-terminated polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS), silanol-terminated polyphenylsiloxane (PDMS), silanol-terminated diphenylsiloxane-dimethylsiloxane silanol-terminated copolymer, poly(2-acetoxyethylsilsesquioxanes), organo-modified alkoxysilanes and their oligomers, and all similar macromolecules and mixtures thereof.

[0128] The organopolysiloxane material or polymer can also be obtained by crosslinking a mixture of one or more monomeric precursors and one or more polymeric precursors as described above, along with one or more oligomeric precursors, which may be linear, branched, or cyclic. These oligomeric precursors have a lower molecular weight than the polymeric precursors. Polymeric and / or oligomeric precursors with more than two reactive functional groups as described above, advantageously much more than two, can be added to the mixture as a co-binder to promote a high crosslinking density of the final organopolysiloxane polymer.

[0129] Monomeric, oligomeric and / or polymeric precursors, in particular silicone resins, copolymerized or not with an organic polymer, play the role of polymeric binder in order to obtain the solid organopolysiloxane polymer combined with the thermoplastics of each layer.

[0130] Silicone oil-type organopolysiloxane precursors can be considered additives if added in small quantities (generally between 0.1 and 5% dry weight) to the overall formula of a layer, independently of other components for the formation of the solid organopolysiloxane polymer.

[0131] Crosslinking may require a catalyst: In the case of the crosslinking of organopolysiloxanes by hydrolysis-polycondensation, the formula may include a metallic catalyst, such as platinum-based, tin-based, zinc-based, zirconium-based, and cerium-based metal complexes, in particular platinum-cyclovinylmethylsilxane complexes, tin ethylhexanoate, zinc ethylhexanoate, zirconium ethylhexanoate, cerium ethylhexanoate, and tin dibutyl laurate. In the case of the crosslinking of organopolysiloxanes by hydrosylilation, the addition of a catalyst may be necessary: ​​this could be, for example, platinum or a suitable platinum-based catalyst such as the Karstedt catalyst or the Ashbys catalyst.

[0132] A crosslinking agent, for example carrying Si-H bonds, may be present.

Operating principle of the jar grinder (mechanical grinding)

[0259] Ball milling involves loading a jar with the sample to be ground and grinding balls, then rotating the jar around its axis at a specific speed. This rotation is typically achieved using a roller mill. The sample can be ground in dry form or dispersed in a suitable solvent (e.g., water or alcohol). The dispersion may also contain additives (such as a dispersant or an antifoaming agent).

[0260] The average diameter of the grinding media should be adapted to the size of the particles to be ground. The finer the particles, the smaller the diameter of the media should be. The total volume of media, including the voids between the media, should represent approximately 50-60% of the internal volume of the jar. The media of different sizes is advantageously distributed according to the following weight proportions relative to the total weight of the media: 25% small media, 50% medium media, and 25% large media. The smallest media range in size from 2 to 10 mm. Alumina and stabilized zirconia are commonly used as media materials. Examples of how to create a culinary article:

[0288] The method for evaluating the properties of the non-stick coating is based on the egg test adapted from the AFNOR NF D 21-511 standard, paragraph 3.3.2, and implemented as follows: The sample is cleaned, and any remaining water is wiped off the surface. The inside of the container is dried beforehand. The cooking vessel is heated on a gas stove to a temperature between 140 and 170°C.A 60 / 65 size egg is cracked and poured into the center of the hot cooking container. Wait until the egg has coagulated (6 to 9 minutes). Remove the egg from the cooking container with a spatula, clean the coating with a damp vegetable sponge, and evaluate the non-stick properties of the cooking container. Record the scores: Score of 100: the egg is completely removed with a plastic spatula; Score of 75: the egg is not completely removed but the coating is easily cleaned with a damp sponge; Score of 50: the egg is not completely removed but the coating is cleanable with a damp sponge; Score of 25: the egg is not completely removed and the coating is not cleaned with a damp sponge. Rating of 0: the egg cannot be removed and the coating cannot be cleaned with a damp sponge.
