A non-stick surface is a separate specification from the metal body beneath it. The coating system, application and intended use all need to be defined.
When comparing options, ask for the complete coating specification rather than a marketing name alone. Confirm the substrate and surface preparation, approved utensils and cleaning guidance, appearance, and the food-contact requirements of the destination market. Performance claims should be checked against the actual sample and test documents.
What to confirm in your brief
- Identify substrate, coating system and application area.
- Confirm appearance, care instructions and expected use.
- Request relevant food-contact and durability test evidence.
Next step
Compare the construction with the actual product type and target market. View related cookware, or return to Stainless Steel materials. The final choice should be confirmed through an approved specification and sample.
