First Claim
Patent Images
1. A non-stick, polymer coated aluminum foil comprising:
- an aluminum foil; and
a non-stick, polymer coating bonded on at least a portion of one side of the aluminum foil wherein said polymer coating comprises a non-stick, coating composition comprising, a silicone resin selected from the group consisting of dimethyl polysiloxanes, polyester-modified methylphenyl polysiloxanes, and hydroxyl functional silicone resins;
a silicone release agent; and
a hindered phenol antioxidant.

Abstract
A non-stick polymer coated aluminum foil and method of making it. The polymer coating composition comprises a silicone resin, a silicone release agent, a silicone curing agent, a hindered phenol antioxidant and a solvent. The method of making the non-stick polymer coated aluminum foil includes applying the polymer coating composition on at least a portion of one side of the aluminum foil and partially curing the coating composition to allow handling and future processing of the coated aluminum foil without blocking of the coating composition. The curing of the coating composition is completed by heating the coated aluminum foil in bulk.
