Description

[0001] WA12415S / WI 1 Silicone resin-based, fluorine-free non-stick coating for cookware applications The invention relates to fluorine-free, silicone resin-based non-stick coatings comprising at least one organopolysiloxane (A), at least one terminally terminated, hydroxy-functional polysiloxane diol (B), and at least one condensation catalyst (C) for cookware applications, as well as a method for producing these coatings. Background of the invention: The present invention relates to fluorine-free, silicone resin-based non-stick coatings for cookware applications based on reactive organopolysiloxanes (silicone resins, so-called...Silicone intermediates), in combination with suitable functional, reactive, terminally terminated hydroxy-functional polysiloxanediols (silicone polymers), organic solvents, and a condensation catalyst, which can be applied as a thin film to a support substrate, typically steel or aluminum, and cured at elevated temperatures (approx. 30 min. at 250°C–300°C). The coating is characterized by a long-lasting non-stick effect, high durability, and good flexibility. State of the art: Non-stick coatings based on fluoropolymers have long been known in the art, for example, for coating baking molds or cookware (e.g., pots and pans). Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) is a very commonly used fluoropolymer in this context.PTFE coatings possess excellent non-stick properties due to their low surface energy and high temperature resistance due to their high CF bond energies. WA12415S / WI 2 However, in addition to the advantages described, fluoropolymer coatings have a number of disadvantages. Due to its high melt viscosity, PTFE can only be processed at very high temperatures. The curing temperatures used are around 410°C. This processing temperature is above the decomposition temperature of PTFE, which can release toxic and aggressive decomposition products such as trifluoroacetic acid and carbonyl fluoride (fluorophosgene). Furthermore, the production of fluoropolymers often involves the use of fluorine-containing wetting agents (PFAS), which, due to their lack of biodegradability, can accumulate in the environment and pose a risk to human, animal, and environmental health.Fluorine-free non-stick coatings are also known from the prior art. Silicone-modified polyesters, in which part of the polyester is replaced by silicones, often exhibit insufficient temperature resistance and non-stick properties, as the polyester component oxidizes (burns) easily at high temperatures above 230°C. Finally, fluorine-free non-stick coatings are known from the prior art, such as those described in EP 2177 580 B1, which are produced using the sol-gel process. These coatings are very temperature-resistant but are also very hard and brittle. These non-stick coatings, often also referred to as ceramic coatings, are often only conditionally suitable as non-stick coatings for cookware due to their brittleness and insufficient non-stick effect. Patent US 7510774 describes a silicone resin-based, fluorine-free non-stick coating based on standard silicone resins available on the market (e.g., [example needed]).SILRES MK, SILRES SY 409) in combination with a “silicone fluid”, an inorganic filler (referred to as a “durability agent”). Our tests have shown that this formulation is well suited for baking pans (use temperature range 180°C – 200°C), but also rather unsuitable for cookware due to discoloration in the temperature range 250°C – 300°C (= typical use temperature of cookware) and a very rapid decrease in the effectiveness of the non-stick properties. Patent EP 4265697 A1 describes non-stick coatings based on silicone resin in combination with a low molecular weight polysiloxanediol with 4–50 repeat units. Our tests have shown that short-chain silicone oils (polysiloxanediols) in combination with the aforementioned silicone resins do not exhibit sufficient non-stick properties for cookware applications.Subject of the invention: This invention has succeeded in developing a fluorine-free non-stick coating based on highly reactive, low-molecular-weight organopolysiloxanes, so-called silicone intermediates, which, in combination with suitable terminally terminated, hydroxy-functional polysiloxane diols (silicone polymers), organic solvents and catalysts, achieve a durable non-stick coating for cookware with additional good flexibility. Among other things, the use of highly reactive, low-molecular-weight organopolysiloxanes, so-called silicone intermediates, distinguishes this invention from the prior art, such as the aforementioned document US 7510774.
