La Cuckoo Industrial
Cuckoo Industrial, Korea’s leading rice cooker manufacturer, has selected VICOTE® Coating as a major ingredient in the new coating formulation for its latest range of high-pressure rice cookers.
Featuring high temperature performance, wear-resistance, and excellent durability, the new VICOTE product range is based on the ingredient VICTREX® PEEK™.
Historically, the inner pot of an electric rice cooker was made of aluminum and therefore susceptible to corrosion due to the alkaline solution resulting from the mixing of rice with water. Cuckoo also needed to improve durability as many food-standard coatings can be scratched by the frequent use of rice scoops and scrubbers.
VICOTE was selected for its remarkable mechanical performance at high temperatures, superb heat and abrasion resistance, as well as the required corrosion resistance.
