PPG Eterna (originally developed by Whitford) is a high-performance, internally reinforced PTFE-based non-stick coating engineered for maximum durability, longevity, and superior food release. Recognized in professional and premium consumer kitchens for its exceptional resistance to scratches and abrasion, it is widely regarded as one of the most enduring non-stick systems on the market. Eterna is built to withstand rigorous, daily use while maintaining its non-stick integrity over time.

Key Characteristics & Advantages:

– Exceptional Durability: Formulated to far exceed the wear resistance of standard non-stick coatings. Independent testing demonstrates that Eterna can last up to three times longer than other premium coatings and up to ten times longer in demanding dry-egg release tests.

– Superior Non-Stick Performance: Utilizes a patented fluoropolymer blend that creates an exceptionally smooth, high-gloss, and hydrophobic surface. This ensures effortless food release and simplifies cleaning.

– Safety & Compliance: Manufactured without PFOA (perfluorooctanoic acid) and complies with stringent international food-contact safety regulations.

– Material Versatility: Effectively bonds to various cookware substrates, including stainless steel and aluminum (cast, pressed, or hard-anodized), offering manufacturers broad application flexibility.

– Aesthetic Options: Available in a range of colors, allowing for design customization to meet market and consumer preferences.

While the Eterna brand is now under PPG Industries, it continues to be synonymous with top-tier, long-lasting non-stick performance in professional-grade and high-end consumer cookware.
