DuPont recently announced the introduction of a revolutionary, high-performance DuPont™ Teflon® non-stick coating at the Ambiente consumer goods trade fair in Frankfurt, Germany.
The DuPont™ Teflon® Platinum Plus coating system uses new proprietary and patented technology that provides a 50 percent improvement in scratch resistance compared to the current Teflon® Platinum coating. Teflon® Platinum Plus is the most durable, high-performance Teflon® branded non-stick coating available from DuPont.
In addition to Teflon® Platinum Plus, the abrasion resistance of Teflon® Classic, Teflon® Select and Teflon® Platinum coatings has been improved significantly. The new Teflon® coatings will continue to offer the ease of cleaning that has made the coatings popular with consumers around the world.
“DuPont has taken Teflon® coatings to a new level of performance by delivering on consumers’ demand for more durable non-stick surfaces,” said Christa Kaiser, global business manager, DuPont™ Teflon® Finishes. “We believe that more durable, longer-lasting non-stick coatings increase the functional life of non-stick cookware, which results in the need for fewer replacement pans. Fewer pans produced means less waste, which offers consumers a more sustainable cookware option and a better cooking experience. These new coatings make peoples’ lives simpler and easier, bringing the Teflon® brand promise to life.”
