How to Order
At Cainco, we know that our pans can be only as good as the material that we receive from our suppliers. That is why we use all our experience and utmost attention in the selection of suppliers and materials, especially in the following items:
Aluminized Steel

Hot-dip coating with a special aluminum alloy that forms a tightly adherent coating on both surfaces of the steel.

* Material of choice for industrial and retail bun, bread, muffin and special pans
* Excelent mechanical and structural properties due to the steel core;
* Excelent heat distribution and corrosion resistance even at high temperatures (400 C or 750 F)
* Aluminum formulation contains approximately 10% Silicon, which allows it to be used in the most demanding deep drawn applications.
* The slightly different appearance and longer duration of our coating is in part due to the thickness used of 20 um (0.008”), which amounts to a coating weight of 120 g/m2 (0.40 oz/sqft). Some of our competitors use coating thickness of 13um (0.005”), and coating weight of 80 g/m2 ( 0.40 oz/sqft).
* The aluminum coating in an unpassivated condition is suitable for food-safe applications
* The aluminum coating is very reactive and takes oxygen from air or water to virtually seal itself from corrosive attack.
* Most frequent base metal for PTFE and silicone coatings

Aluminum

* Almost exclusive use of high grade, special alloy aluminum
* Excelent peak temperature heat resistance - necessary when coating with PTFE;
* Excelent long term heat resistance compared with standard, commercial grade aluminum
* Much longer life span, also due to higher friction and tear resistance

Stainless Steel

* Most applications use AISI 304 stainless - food grade, high quality material
* Some applications require magnetic steel AISI 409 - please consult with us about corrosion resistance and heat distribution - used for a better base for frequent PTFE recoatings, when magnetic properties are required.
