Abstract
Abstract A silicate coating for heat-resistant objects, particularly containers having a heat transfer function, e.g. cooking pots or baking pans, is disclosed. The coating solves the problem of improving the heat transfer and heat distribution while at the same time improving the appearance. Toward these ends, it is proposed that the coating contain at least 10 wt. % of a mica, and be fired or baked on the object at a temperature below the decomposition, melting or dissolving temperature of the mica.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 12
Claim 1
Independent Claim
62 words
A heat resistant object having a coating on a surface thereof for improving the heat transfer properties of said surface, said coating consisting essentially of an inorganic silicate mixture containing at least 10% by weight of mica baked on said surface at a temperature below the decomposition, melting or dissolving temperature of said mica, wherein said mica is modified with titanium dioxide.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
62 words
A heat resistant object having a coating on a surface thereof for improving the heat transfer properties of said surface, said coating consisting essentially of an inorganic silicate mixture containing at least 10% by weight of mica baked on said surface at a temperature below the decomposition, melting or dissolving temperature of said mica, wherein said mica is modified with titanium dioxide.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
20 words
The coating in accordance with claim 1 wherein the mica is in particulate form and is coated with titanium dioxide.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
21 words
The coating of claim 1 wherein said surface is a heat-engaging surface and said coating is disposed on said surface only.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
20 words
The coating of claim 3 wherein said object is a cooking utensil, and said surface is the outer bottom surface.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
69 words
A heat resistant object having a coating on a surface thereof for improving the heat transfer properties of said surface, said coating consisting essentially of an inorganic silicate mixture containing at least 10% by weight of mica baked on said surface at a temperature below the decomposition, melting or dissolving temperature of said mica, said mica being applied to the surface of said coating prior to any baking process.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
69 words
A heat resistant object having a coating on a surface thereof for improving the heat transfer properties of said surface, said coating consisting essentially of an inorganic silicate mixture containing at least 10% by weight of mica baked on said surface at a temperature below the decomposition, melting or dissolving temperature of said mica, said mica being applied to the surface of said coating prior to any baking process.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
21 words
The coating of claim 5 wherein said surface is a heat-engaging surface and said coating is disposed on said surface only.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
20 words
The coating of claim 6 wherein said object is a cooking utensil, and said surface is the outer bottom surface.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
20 words
The coating according to claim 5 wherein the mica is applied in pure form by spraying, dipping, powdering, or pressing.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
17 words
The coating in accordance with claim 8 wherein the mica is applied in combination with a vehicle.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim
32 words
The coating according to any one of the claims 3, 4, 1, 5, 6, 7, 2, 8 or 9 wherein said coating comprises multiple layers, and all said layers include added mica.
