New Volcanic Diamond™ Iron Sole Plate

Our new VOLCANIC DIAMOND™ Iron Sole Plate material has been undergoing a 500-hour life test. Constant 24/7 heating/cooling/steam cycles. After 500 hours the plate was heavily contaminated with baked-on mineral deposits. The image on the left shows the plate at the end of the test and the on the right shows the plate after being […]

manufacturer benefits

When DIAMOND was being created as much consideration went into the benefits for the steam iron manufacturer as for the consumer.

It was critical that DIAMOND was able to sit easily into existing process techniques whilst being able deliver quality, environmental and manufacturing cycle benefits.

As a pre-coated system, the material can fit into existing processes and tooling with the minimum of investment or disruption.

Manageable order quantities and choice of colour options and further enhancements.

consumer benefits

DIAMOND non-stick ceramic coating for iron sole-plates provides a unique blend of features and benefits of value to the consumer.

These range from the use of the latest coating technology giving smooth superior glide; the use of ceramic particles to provide strong wear resistance and the robust environmental process control to ensure that the product is made to the most modern and environmentally friendly standards.

unique coating system

The 1st coating layer provides an inert crystaline structure containing ceramic particles capable of withstanding extreme abrasion

This is over-coated with another layer containing a high concentration of fluropolymer to provide the non-stick performance

These two layers in combination offer the unique blend of smooth glide and exceptional wear resistance

The method of production achieves everything in a single manufacturing cycle capable of of delivering consistant quality time after time

supply

DIAMOND is available exclusively from CCC (Cooper Coated Coil)

Local area representation in the Far East provides product training and logistical support.

DIAMOND is available for supply in both sheet and coil form for delivery from the UK to the Iron manufacturer in the Far East and Asia.

environmental benefit

A typical non-stick iron sole-plate is spray coated and likely to only utilise 50% of the paint used.

The rest is lost in overspray – where does this go and how is handled?

Increasing environmental legislation is placing a greater financial burden on companies that impacts on the finished product.

DIAMOND is applied under strictly controlled conditions on state-of-the-art equipment utilising 98% of the coating used that adds to the quality of the product and the environment.

RoHS & WEEE approved

The raw materials and process for DIAMOND are free from heavy metals – Cadmium, Chromium VI, Lead & Mercury and substances in accordance with International directives and regulations.

DIAMOND is officially certified as RoHS & WEEE compliant.

shorten manufacturing cycle

DIAMOND is pre-coated and does away with the need to use a spray shop. This will reduce the space required and shorten the manufacturing cycle. Shorter times means lower inventory

Additionally, no paint rectification is required as DIAMOND is supplied fully protected with a removeable polymer film.

500 hour steam test

DIAMOND has been formulated and tested to exceed a 500 hour steam test.

DIAMOND is a fully approved system having passed the life cycle tests by a number of OEM’s and Far East manufacturers.

no additional investment

DIAMOND is supplied pre-coated on 0.40mm Aluminium substrate as standard.

It can be processed using the same tooling as Stainless Steel without any further tooling investment.

The clearance gap between the cast base and the iron sole plate is the same as with stainless steel and the connection is just as secure.

choice of colours

Why does a non-stick sole plate always have to be Black or dark Grey? With DIAMOND there is always a choice that adds to the look of the iron and can re-inforce brand identity.

environmentally friendly

We use aluminium as it is the most recycled metal in use made by clean, hydro-electric non-carbon energy sources. It is infinitely recyclable because its essential properties remain unchanged even after multiple recycling loops.

The coating application itself is the greenest available utilising 99% of the coating – twice as good as a sprayed on non-stick iron.

even heat distribution

Superb heat conductivity is 3x better than stainless steel allowing for faster start up times.

Even heat distribution across the whole plate area is more energy efficient and avoids unwanted “hot-spots” particularly important when ironing delicate fabrics.

excellent durability

DIAMOND gives a much superior wear resistance than existing non-stick systems.

This comes from the ceramically re-inforced base coat and means the sole-plate is more resistant to zips, buttons and rough material like denim.

superior smooth coating

The smoothness of the surface is considered to be a highly marketable attribute providing a strong impression at point of sale.

The DIAMOND specification puts together a unique combination of precision levelled Aluminium coated with a double layer ceramic non-stick applied by accurate coil coat technology.

Smoothness readings from Industry leading non-stick irons were taken and compared to the DIAMOND non-stick ceramic coating surface. The results were staggering.

unique non-stick ceramic system

Every component of the DIAMOND system has a part to play

Central and unique to DIAMOND is the double layer coating system.

The 1st coating layer provides an inert crystalline structure containing ceramic particles capable of withstanding extreme abrasion.

The 2nd layer provides the ultra smooth finish and the non-stick performance that lifts from the ordinary to the exceptional.
