Ceramic coating for baking molds | PFAS-free and prevents sticking
Uniform coating all the way to the deep box interior! Completely PFAS-free and compliant with food sanitation laws! Supports smooth release for baking!
This is a technical case study on a ceramic coating applied to metal bread loaf pans (pan cases) used in continuous production lines at bread factories and bakeries, which combines excellent release properties and safety. The coating forms a high-performance film with a uniform thickness across the entire complex inner surface, including the deep box shape specific to the pan case, the corners, and the seams on the bottom. **Main Improvement Effects from Implementation:** - **Improved Release Properties and Yield by Preventing Dough Sticking:** The excellent non-stick effect blocks burning of the bread dough containing moisture and sugar on the inner walls. The release from the mold upon baking becomes smoother, preventing corner chipping and shape defects, thereby increasing yield. - **Completely PFAS-Free & Safe and Secure:** No organic fluorine compounds are used at all (PFAS-free). This eliminates future environmental regulation risks and contributes to the establishment of a hygienic food manufacturing environment. - **Labor-Saving Cleaning and Maintenance:** The amount of release oils such as oil and butter is minimized, reducing raw material costs. Burnt-on stains can be easily removed with water washing, shortening cleaning time and reducing friction and wear on the molds.
basic information
【Construction Technology】 Ceramic Coating "Biceram" - Contract Processing 【Technical Features and Functions】 ■ High Non-Stick and Release Properties Initial release performance that strongly prevents sticking of dough, sugar, and oil. ■ Completely PFAS-Free & Safe No use of organic fluorine compounds / Complies with Japan's "Food Sanitation Act (Ministry of Health Notification No. 370)" standards. ■ Uniform Coating on Deep Holes and Complex Inner Surfaces Using the sol-gel method (liquid phase process), a film is formed without pinholes even in deep corners and bottom seams of bread pans. ■ Excellent Coating Hardness and Heat Resistance Maintains high film stability even in high-temperature environments (200°C to 250°C) during continuous baking processes. 【Target Substrates and Applicable Parts】 ■ Bread baking molds (single cases, multiple cases), bun molds, pound cake molds, various bread shaping molds. ■ Metal molds made of aluminum die-cast, stainless steel (SUS), etc.

Applications/Examples of results
**Main Application Areas and Equipment** ■ Mass Production Factories for Bread and Confectionery Fully automatic bread production lines, bread cases for continuous ovens ■ Retail Bakeries and Food Preparation Commercial bread molds, various baking and shaped bread molds ■ Food Conveyance and Surrounding Jigs Dough input hoppers, conveyor chutes, alignment guide components **Case Studies of Problem Solving** ■ Issue In large-scale bread factories, dough sticking to the inner walls of the cases caused corner chipping and deformation during demolding, leading to reduced yield. Additionally, the increased costs from applying large amounts of release oil and the significant labor involved in manually cleaning burnt residues after use created a heavy burden. ■ After Implementation Ceramic coating "Biceram" was applied to the entire inner surface of the bread baking molds. ■ Effects and Results: - Demolding of bread became smoother, reducing shape defects and improving production yield. - The amount of release oil used and cleaning labor were significantly reduced, achieving PFAS-free status simultaneously.

Nikken Coating Industry Co., Ltd. has been a specialized manufacturer of functional coatings for contract processing, earning the trust of customers across various industries for 79 years since its founding. We leverage our processing technology to maximize the properties of fluororesins, such as non-stick, lubricity, and chemical resistance, providing high-performance coatings that directly address customer challenges, including "Thermo Pro Release" for thermal welding processes and "NonStick STC" for blades and precision molds. In recent years, in response to movements regarding regulations on fluorinated compounds (PFAS), "PEEK resin," which is gaining attention as a substitute for fluororesins, has become a focus. Nikken Coating Industry commercialized the world's first PEEK resin coating, "PEEKCOAT," in 1999. Based on the solid knowledge and know-how accumulated over more than 20 years, we are further intensifying our research and development efforts to explore the potential of next-generation PEEK coatings! We aim to be recognized as "the go-to for PEEK coatings" and will continue to lead the way. As "the best partner for functional coatings that builds trust through technology," Nikken Coating Industry will continue to contribute to the creation of high-quality, high-performance products.
