Eclipse for Cookware

Eclipse is a three-coat, high cure, internally reinforced, nonstick system engineered to outlast other internally reinforced coatings. It is different from all other nonstick coatings in that the basecoat contains a carefully chosen and blended combination of resins and unusually hard materials, permitting a far higher percentage of special reinforcing elements than normal. The mid-coat, actually a basecoat used in other Whitford reinforced systems, also contains the special reinforcing elements, while the topcoat is rich in fluoropolymers, and is dedicated entirely to "release" (the nonstick characteristic).

All tests show startling results. The toughest internally reinforced coating previously tested reached 20,000 cycles — while Eclipse has gone beyond 700,000 cycles.

Eclipse for Bakeware

Eclipse for Bakeware is a 2-coat, low-cure, internally reinforced nonstick system engineered to outlast other internally reinforced bakeware coatings. It is different from all other nonstick coatings in that the basecoat contains carefully chosen and unusually hard materials, permitting a far higher percentage of special reinforcing elements than normal. The outstanding release is provided by silicone, not PTFE. Therefore, Eclipse for Bakeware can be marketed as “Made without PTFE/PFOA”. This system is ideal for aluminum and phosphated carbon-steel substrates.
