Whitford, makers of the largest, most complete line of nonstick and decorative coatings in the world, announces five new coatings to serve a variety of needs for cookware and bakeware. The new products and their key improvements are:

1. Tetran®: Designed primarily for rice cookers, new Tetran provides at least six times the
release life of conventional rice-cooker nonstick coatings. It also offers excellent adhesion, a wide curing range, reduced staining, and superb flexibility.

2. Eterna® Si: Created for bakeware in which high-sugar-content cakes, muffins, etc., are
baked, this new coating gives release that lasts 33 times longer than all the conventional
bakeware coatings Whitford laboratories have tested.

3. Eclipse® HB (High Build): An improvement on the tough, wear-resistant Eclipse nonstick
Whitford launched several years ago, this coating can be applied up to 60 microns. The
result: It lasts at least 2.5 times longer than all competitive internally reinforced coatings
tested.

4. Fusion® HR (High Release): A signifcant improvement in the sol-gel "ceramic" nonstick category, new Fusion HR provides release that lasts up to 12 times longer than standard sol-gel nonstick coatings, offering release life previously thought to be unattainable in sol-gels.

5. Skandia® Xtreme Plus: A breakthrough in bakeware nonstick coatings, new Skandia
provides consistent migration performance for the standard 3 x 2 hour EU 10/2011 3% Acetic Acid overall migration, even at a low film thickness of 7 microns. At 12 microns, it passes the extended 3 x 4 hour global migation test, even on severely drawn bakeware shapes.

Whatever your coating problem, Whitford probably has the right product to solve it. If not, we will work closely with you to develop the coating that will.
