Invirobake ™: Introducing New Pfas-Free Coatings For Food Production
As awareness and scrutiny around PFAS(‘ Forever Chemicals’) continues to grow, many food manufacturers are reviewing the materials used across production environments and exploring practical alternatives for the future.
Pioneered by Invicta, Invirobake ™ is a new PFAS & PFOA-free coating technology designed for industrial bakeware and wider food manufacturing applications. Using advanced Sol-Gel ceramic technology, it is one of the first PFASfree industrial food-contact coating solutions of its kind available to the UK market.
Designed for demanding production environments, Invirobake™ has been developed to provide a viable non-stick coating solution while supporting the industry’ s move towards safer and more environmentally responsible manufacturing processes. Initial testing has shown encouraging results, with the coating offering high temperature capability, durable non-stick performance and full compliance with recognised EU and US food-contact standards.
While many food manufacturers are looking to go PFAS-free, they still require the reliability, durability and consistency needed to operate efficiently within high-output commercial environments. And for many businesses, the challenge lies in identifying practical alternatives without compromising operational performance.
Invicta is working closely with customers to trial Invirobake™ under real production conditions, helping manufacturers assess suitability, durability and longterm performance within their own operations.
Trevor Talbot, coatings specialist at Invicta, said:“ The move away from traditional fluoropolymer coatings is not straightforward, but it is something the industry is starting to prepare for. Invirobake™ offers food producers a practical and costeffective alternative and we are more than happy to arrange trials that will enable customers to evaluate its performance and suitability for themselves.”
Founded in 1912, Invicta is one of the UK’ s leading manufacturers and suppliers of industrial bakeware and equipment for the bakery, catering and food processing industries with customers ranging from independent producers through to large-scale manufacturers and household brands.
