Ceramic and other non-stick coatings are finish choices applied to an aluminum body. They should not be used as shorthand for the body material or a guaranteed performance level.
Define the color and feel you want, then request the actual coating system and application specification. Review the finished sample for coverage, appearance and care instructions. Food-contact and durability claims should be supported by documents for the selected coating on the chosen body.
What to confirm in your brief
- Confirm the coating system and application surfaces.
- Approve color, appearance and use instructions.
- Check destination-market evidence for the finished article.
Next step
