A nonstick pan is a cooking utensil with a special nonstick coating on the surface of the pan. The pan body is mostly made of lightweight and thermally conductive alloys such as aluminum alloy and stainless steel, and the inner surface of the pan is coated with a chemical nonstick coating or a metal physical nonstick surface to prevent sticking.
In the design of aluminum cookware sets, color is one of the main media for conveying information. The color of a product conveys people's feelings about its characteristics, functions, and value. It is an essential part of the design process and is crucial to attracting customers.
Nonstick cookware set appeared in the 1960s. They were made of a material called polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) and came in two colors: basic black and dark tin. There were two reasons for the limited color selection: the high-temperature resistant pigments available at the time were very limited, and because the coating was not as durable as it is today, dark colors were more likely to hide surface wear.
As nonstick coatings became more popular, manufacturers began to explore ways to use color (especially white) to enhance their visual appeal. Although white was more attractive to consumers than black, it was ultimately proven that white coatings were less durable and more susceptible to stains, so they were not widely commercialized at the time.
The real breakthrough in nonstick colored cookware came in the late 1990s and early 2000s, when manufacturers used more advanced technology to develop new PTFE nonstick coatings. These improvements allowed for a wider range of nonstick coatings to be used on the inside of cookware, allowing consumers to easily cook their food while adding a touch of color to their kitchens. At the time, red and blue coatings were introduced to the market and became popular for their brilliant colors.
Another development in the early 2000s was the introduction of coatings, an alternative to traditional PTFE nonstick technology. These coatings are typically made of inorganic materials such as silica combined with a reactive agent to form a binder that is applied to the surface of the cookware. Ceramic coatings are popular for their high temperature resistance and higher surface hardness. Compared to traditional PTFE coatings, ceramic nonstick coatings can achieve lighter and brighter colors, enhance stain resistance, and provide a wider range of surface finishes from low gloss to high gloss, which has attracted cookware designers and consumers. The era of colorful nonstick cookware has arrived.
Since around 2010, a new trend of nonstick color effects has emerged, including speckled and textured finishes. In addition to this new stone effect, manufacturers have also improved the wear resistance of non-stick coatings. This not only brings consumers a beautiful finish, but also improves the durability of non-stick.
From the original black coating to today's brightly colored coatings, non-stick coatings have made great progress in a relatively short period of time. As non-stick technology continues to develop, consumers will have a wider range of colors, surface treatments and performance options.
