This invention relates to a non-stick
coating for articles, the non-stick
coating having at least one adhesion
promoter layer (V) disposed on the surface of the article and a cover layer (D) disposed on the adhesion
promoter layer, wherein the adhesion
promoter layer has a dry film thickness of 5 to 25 μm, and wherein the cover layer has a dry film thickness of 10 to 65 μm. To achieve a combination of non-stick effect and improved abrasion resistance, it is suggested that the cover layer contains 95 to 100% by weight of PTFE and, if necessary, no more than 5% by weight of
pigment, based on the total solids content of the cover layer, and is free of fluoropolymers capable of melt
processing, and that the PTFE contained comprises 1 to 100% by weight of a polymerically modified PTFE, the modified PTFE comprising less than 1% by weight of perfluoropropyl
vinyl ether (PPVE) as a
comonomer acting as a modifier and obtained by
emulsion polymerization. In a method for applying a non-stick
coating, an
adhesive layer in liquid form is applied as a first
aqueous dispersion to the surface of an article and then thermally dried. A cover layer in the form of a second
aqueous dispersion is then applied, and the
layers are interconnected and bonded to the surface of the article by subsequent
drying and
sintering. The second dispersion does not contain fluoropolymers that can be melt-processed and does not contain low-molecular-weight PTFE.
