An "internal reinforcement" refers to a particle which, through a special manufacturing process, is built internally into the liquid non-stick coating.
Akzo Nobel's internally reinforced 3-Coat System will retain excellent food release and scratch resistance for years and years-up to the life of the cookware itself.
 Calphalon uses advanced Akzo Nobel custom designed reinforced non-stick systems for its high-end cookware. |
"Standard" Internally Reinforced three coat non-stick systems are composed of a primer, inter coat and topcoat layer. The main
problem, however, is that no internal structure "binds" the individual layers together. The three coats act only as separate
functional coats instead of one cohesive system.
Therefore, even though these systems are referred to as "reinforced," it is still relatively easy to "wear off" the individual
intercoat and topcoat layers through normal cooking and cleaning regiments, which results in a drastic decrease in food release
and abrasion resistance properties.

However, the Akzo Nobel reinforced 3 coat system has been formulated to successfully
overcome problems associated with the aforementioned "layering" effect.
It has been "internally reinforced"
with specially engineered materials that form a three dimensional matrix throughout the entire coating. Unlike the
"reinforced" systems offered by the competition, the Akzo Nobel system succeeds in interlocking the strengthened
primer and intercoat with the smooth non-stick topcoat.
Akzo Nobel's Internally reinforced 3-Coat System is able to withstand the everyday abuse of
metal utensils in professional or home kitchens.
