Ceramic coating for kugelhopf type | PFAS-free, non-stick, scratch-resistant
Uniform coating from the spiral pattern to the central chimney part! Completely PFAS-free and compliant with food sanitation laws! Releases smoothly without disturbing the beautiful wave pattern!
This is a technical case study on the application of the ceramic coating "Biceram," which combines excellent non-stick properties and safety, for metal molds used in the production of traditional baked goods known as kugelhopf. The coating forms a high-performance film with a uniform thickness without any inconsistencies, reaching even the intricate details of the kugelhopf mold's unique deep spiral wave patterns and the central protrusion (chimney shape), which have complex and profound three-dimensional shapes. **Main Improvement Effects from Implementation** - **Improved Release from Deep and Complex Shapes, Enhancing Yield** The coating exhibits excellent non-stick effects against shapes with deep irregularities that tend to cause sticking. It prevents mold deformation and skin tearing, allowing for smooth release while maintaining the beautiful wave patterns. - **Completely PFAS-Free, Eliminating Environmental and Regulatory Risks** No organic fluorinated compounds (PFAS) are used at all. This aligns with the global strengthening of environmental regulations and helps establish a safe and sustainable confectionery production line. - **Reduction of Release Agents and Butter, Streamlining Cleaning Processes** The amount of release agent used is minimized, reducing raw material costs. Cleaning after use becomes easier with simple water washing, thereby reducing cleaning labor and utility costs.
basic information
【Construction Technology】 Ceramic Coating "Biceram" - Contract Processing 【Technical Features and Functions】 ■ High Non-Stick and Release Properties Excellent release performance that prevents sticking and burning of sugar, butter, and dough. ■ Completely PFAS-Free & Safe No use of organic fluorinated compounds / Complies with the "Food Sanitation Act (Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare Notification No. 370)" standards. ■ High Conformity to Three-Dimensional and Deep Holes Uniform application without pinholes even in the depths of spiral valleys and central chimney areas using the sol-gel method (liquid phase process). ■ High Heat Resistance and Durability Release effect lasts long even in high-temperature environments (200°C to 250°C) during the firing process. 【Applicable Substrates and Parts】 ■ Bundt pans, angel food cake pans, chiffon cake pans, canelé molds, madeleine molds, and various metal molds for baked goods. ■ Metal molds made of aluminum die-cast, iron, stainless steel (SUS), etc.

Applications/Examples of results
**Main Application Areas and Equipment** ■ Confectionery and Food Mass Production Factories Continuous production lines for baked goods, embedded molds for automatic baking ovens ■ Retail Bakeries and Patisseries Commercial confectionery molds, various traditional confectionery shaping plates ■ Cookware and Mold Manufacturers Ceramic coatings for high-end confectionery mold brands **Case Study of Problem Solving** ■ Issue In deep and complex spiral-patterned bundt pans, frequent occurrences of batter sticking leading to mold deformation and difficulty in removal were noted. To improve mold release, it was necessary to apply large amounts of butter or release oil, which posed challenges in terms of cost and labor, as well as the anticipated shift to "non-fluorinated" solutions due to future PFAS environmental regulations. ■ After Implementation Ceramic coating was directly applied to the spiral inner surface and central protrusion of the bundt pan. ■ Effects and Results - The complex pattern was smoothly released without distortion, dramatically improving product yield. - The usage of release oil and cleaning time was eliminated, achieving complete 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.
