Coatings for the food sector

Designed specifically for the food industry, these coatings provide the surfaces with excellent non-stick properties. Consequently, the use of oils, greases, and release agents are no longer required.
Some coatings are compliant for direct contact with drinking water: excellent anti-corrosive and non-stick properties enable these coatings to stay clean.  
Silicon Tech offers specific consultancy services to help customers choose the right coating, considering the type of dough and the production process.

Use guideline

It is strongly advised to avoid impacts, abrasions and/or other mechanical stress that might damage the coating film and therefore hinder its performance.

Cleaning guidelines

The coatings deliver excellent non-stick properties that ensure easy-clean surfaces. Do not use brushes, abrasive sponges and / or other objects that may damage the coating. To remove any incrustations more effectively, soak for a few hours; then proceed with ordinary cleaning. High-pressure water can be used, but only when absolutely necessary. It is advisable keeping an appropriate distance from the coated surface. Please contact Silicon Tech for an advice regarding the cleaning process.

Wear and Refurbishment

Coatings are subject to wear. Increasing wear leads to progressive loss of non-stick and anticorrosive properties. A regular check-up is recommended to ensure excellent functional performances. The coating film can be restored, even on a scheduled basis, by delivering the coated baking trays/moulds and/or other types of coated parts to Silicon Tech. Herein a highly specialized team will perform a full recovery.
