The present invention provides a composition for use in forming an abrasion-resistant easy-to-clean
coating on a substrate. The composition according to the invention includes a mixture of a
fluorocarbon polymer component and an enamel-forming component. The enamel-forming component includes at least a first lead-free and
cadmium-free glass
frit. The first lead-free and
cadmium-free glass
frit includes from about 30% to about 50% P2O5, from about 15% to about 30% Al2O3, and from about 2% to about 40% X2O where X=Na and / or K. The present invention also provides a method of forming an abrasion-resistant easy-to-clean
coating on a substrate. The method includes applying the composition according to the invention to a substrate and
sintering the applied composition to fuse an abrasion-resistant easy-to-clean
coating to the substrate. The method can be used to apply the composition to a variety of substrate materials such as metals, glass, ceramics, and stone, using a variety of application techniques such as wet spraying,
screen printing,
electrophoresis, dry electrostatic deposition, wet dipping, and flow coating.
