Eclipse
Eclipse is a three-coat, internally reinforced nonstick system developed by Whitford to outlast other reinforced coatings.

Eclipse is different from all other non-sticks in three important aspects:

1. The primer coat contains a carefully chosen and blended combination of resins and unusually hard materials, permitting a far higher percentage of special reinforcing elements.
2. The midcoat, actually a primer used in other Whitford reinforced systems, also contains the special reinforcing elements.
3. The topcoat is rich in fluoropolymers, and is dedicated entirely to "release" (the non-stick characteristic).

Dykor
Dykor 200's and 600's are combinations of resins from the polyvinylident (PVDF) family and appropriate fillers, typically graphite and mica. When combined and applied in the area of 0.6mm/25mils, the system provides outstanding corrosion resistance.

Dykor 700's combine high molecular weight perfluoropolymers that are formulated in a waterborne system and can be applied to over all thickness of 1.8m/75 mils or even thicker. They offer excellent durability and release.

QuanTanium
Quantanium is Whitford's new nonstick that is reinforced with titanium to stand up to almost anything. Its remarkable combination of high strength and low density offers exceptionally favorable strength-to-weight ratios, which is the principal reason it found its way so quickly and successfully into high-tech industries such as Aerospace.

Titanium is the lightest, toughest metal known to man, which makes it ideal for unusually demanding applications in many varied fields. Now titanium moves from aerospace to the common kitchen under the Quantum brand family of coatings from Whitford.

Quantum
Quantum is Whitford's name for our series of internally reinforced nonstick systems. It is a unique, high-release, high-wear and scratch-resistant coating for application to cookware and other articles that are used for food preparation.

Quantum is designed for surfaces which require nonstick properties and are subjected to abrasives and/or high wear. Quantum may be used on premium quality and gourmet cookware. An additional special Quantum formulation has been developed for application by coil coating methods. This formulation produces the toughest, most durable bakeware coating available.

Xylac
Xylac coatings are high-temperature decorative finishes for cookware and associated products, bridging the gap between acrylic paints and more expensive porcelain coatings while maintaining resistance to all household cleaner and dishwasher compounds.

All are based on the organic polymers with outstanding high-temperature properties, unlimited colors, one-coat coverage, excellent gloss retention at elevated temperatures, adhesion to all metallic, flexible cure schedule (s), minimal surface preparation and high impact resistance.

Xylar
Xylar coatings are a new generation of thin-film surface protection finishes, ideal for extending the lives of parts where environments are extremely hot, corrosive and/or abrasive.

Based on an alloy of ceramic and metallic materials, Xylar forms thin, hard, high-temperature-stable, sacrificial cermet barrier. In many cases, these coatings enable parts to be used in environments that would normally preclude their use. In others, they enable designers to replace expensive super alloys with less costly metals coated with Xylar. Top coats may be added to modify or improve the properties of the base coats, such as increasing corrosion resistance or decreasing coefficients of friction.
