Fusion®
● General
- Whitford’s Fusion has important advantages over other “ceramic” nonsticks, such as a simpler, more user-friendly chemistry that makes preparation easier. Fusion is a coating system based on sol-gel technology, a hybrid of organic and inorganic chemistry.
Fusion is a waterborne coating that cures at a lower temperature than traditional coatings. It has good release, stain resistance and high gloss.
The unique engineering behind Fusion allows us to get the best out of the inorganic and the organic worlds of ceramics and polymers: the material is tough, impermeable and thermally stable as a ceramic, yet it provides the chemical inertness and nonstick properties of a polymeric material.

● Characteristics
▶ Fusion nonstick coatings have achieved FDA’s concurrence that there would be no health or safety concern with the use of the product and that Fusion nonstick coatings are exempt from FDA regulation. Fusion has been evaluated by a legal third party to ensure compliance with EU food contact regulations.
▶ made without PFOA and PTFE.
▶ excellent stain resistance
▶ good release properties
▶ ideal for browning and searing
▶ more environmentally friendly because it cures at a low, energy-saving temperature.
▶ continuous use temperature of and is oven safe to 285°C/550°F. NOTE: This only applies to the coating. The continuous use temp of the other components of the finished product must also be considered.
▶ If using an active Whitford QCP approved factory, the logos and the cross-section illustration shown here are available for use on any promotional/packaging material.

● Logo Options
● Color
▶ variety of colours available, including spatter finishes
▶ darker colours recommended.
▶ lighter colours can have an impact on performance, in regard to hiding power, stain resistance, or slight variations in other characteristics, as a result of pigment load required for other formulating factors.
● Notes
- The performance data listed above is dependent on the coating being applied as per the parameters listed here and the criteria set on the Product Data Sheet for each coating. Proper application, including proper film thickness, surface preparation and cure, are critical to this coating performing as it has been designed. Corrosion resistance will be optimum with all multi-coat nonstick systems, with proper application, as mentioned above.
