HYALON™ is a food-contact surface of iron-based amorphous metal — metallic glass — thermally applied to cookware as its final manufacturing step. No fluoropolymers. No applied release chemistry. No expiry date. Patent pending — US applications filed 2026.
From the Greek hyalos — glass. Molten alloy droplets are quenched so fast their atoms never crystallize: the disorder of glass, locked into metal. The vessel is formed, bonded and welded first — the surface is born last, so nothing that follows can damage it.
An Fe–Cr–Mo–Si alloy family with no intentionally added nickel or cobalt — engineered from the start for food contact, not adapted from industry.
No grain boundaries, no crystalline weak points. The properties of metallic glass — hardness and corrosion resistance — on an ordinary steel vessel.
Free of applied fluoropolymers, sol-gel layers and organic binders as manufactured. Release comes from engineered surface texture — physics, not coatings.
PFAS restrictions are advancing across the EU and US states while ceramic alternatives fade within months of use. The industry has spent a decade searching for a durable, fluorine-free surface. It was never going to be another polymer.
The science behind HYALON did not begin in a kitchen. Amorphous-metal surfaces and high-velocity spray engineering spent decades earning their reputation in the world's least forgiving environments — long before anyone thought to cook on them.
Thermal-spray surfacing was perfected protecting turbine components — parts that live at extremes of heat, speed and stress. The same family of application engineering lays down the HYALON surface.
Iron-based amorphous coatings made their name as corrosion armour in offshore and marine duty — salt, pressure and abrasion, year after year. That service record is why the material class is trusted at all.
Gas-atomized metallic-glass powders come from the precision end of materials science — where particle size, sphericity and purity are controlled to the micron. Powder quality is the heart of the surface.
What none of those industries needed, we built: a nickel-free, cobalt-free composition engineered for food contact, a release texture born from spray physics, and a process window that survives a production line. That is the invention — and the patent family.
We publish what is measured and label what is projected. Literature values are attributed to their sources and process baselines; our own coupon and production data programme runs under an independent certification track, and every production batch is verified by witness coupon — adhesion, hardness, and X-ray diffraction.
HYALON™ is offered as an ingredient technology to cookware and appliance manufacturers — the surface, the application know-how, the certification dossier, and the mark that tells customers what their pan is made of.
Coupon and prototype programme on your vessel geometry and substrate, under NDA, with defined acceptance criteria.
The surface is applied as the final step of your existing manufacturing line — through qualified coating partners or in-house cells we help you specify.
Ship under your brand, marked "with the HYALON™ surface" — backed by the patent family, the certification dossier, and the story your category has been waiting for.
