As the coating wears does it flake off? Or does it come off in a powder? How does it seem to hold up to sliding friction?

I use this all the time. It sprays on like paint, and does not come off until a lot of rubbing has occurred. I use it for anything that rubs such as metal-to-metal on my auto brakes and even gun slides and bolts. It is not sticky, so dirt does not build up.

Hello Irene, I can't speak from a professional nor scientific standpoint, but personally I don't care for the way that teflon coatings peel and flake-off over time... So I made the switch to ceramic and love it! I no longer have to worry about my cookware losing its 'nonstick' appeal rapidly.

I've been using mine for quite sometime now and haven't noticed anything melting off .... weird !

It looks slick but i have not had a problem with it sliding. So far i have only worn it under a fleece to keep warm in the mountains.

The other answer seems to have got a bad product, or they changed their coating process at some point. I don't know the technical details, but mine has a very good finish, which, after more than 3 years of use, has not worn, chipped, or scratched very much at all. There are some small exposed spots that appeared after dropping it, but they have not caused any flaking. There is some slight fading where parts rub together or where it is handled most often, but you have to look for it.

I sorry, I can't attest to that since I only hand wash mine, BUT, I will say, the coating in this is so slick that I've NEVER had anything stick badly enough that a little soaking didn't loosen it just fine! And over the life of my ownership, I've have to soak it maybe 2% of the time. It's a great pan, I will probably order another one.

Much of the product is powder coated, starting at the feet working up to an aluminum poll which the top piece pivots on. The top piece is powder coated as well (excluding the narrow section which holds the ball).My 8 year old carries his in and out of our garage every day. Would advise against leaving it out in rain, suspect that the base where aluminum poll sits in may retain water

I would suppose that you are referring to a non stick coating. I just looked at my pot and see nothing that might be considered a coating. The ceramic pot does have a glaze. it is not just a slip fired only pot.

It comes off easily. I've tried it on two different pistols. I left it on a full sized pistol and am satisfied with the outcome. I also tried the paint on the sights of a small concealed carry pistol with very small snag free sights. Those sights were too small for what I was attempting to do, so I removed the Glow-On with no damage to the stock sights.

Mine actually broke pretty quickly and I think it came off easily. I may have used mineral oil but I can't remember. It didn't leave any marks.

I have had no problem with it sliding off any kind of surface. The little rubber part in the middle of the back does a great job holding it in place, but still slides easy enough in the pocket.

I agree with the others that the non-stick surface seems to be sturdier than the old Teflon coating. I use a wooden spoon with my pan and it doesn't even show any scratching on the surface. I would say that with a little consideration for the surface that you should not have any flaking or other issues associated with Teflon.

Not at all. I have had screw come loose couple times but used locktite (a dab) first time and came loose. Coated good second time and been good since. Very thin wall on tube so becareful wnen tighening. Also use wood dowel or plastic if you need to tap it in as powder coat will come off. Emily at Technaclip sent me a new bolt for free when I screwed mine up first time around. Such a simple product but so effective. Works great! Great customer service.

It wears fairly well. There was one scuff mark from the frig being moved but I just re applied the sealant to the scuffed areas and now it's looks good as new. But I have slate floors which hides a lot scratches and scuffs. The product is easy to apply and hard to mess up.

No, the coating does not peel off. Have only had it about 6 weeks but have used it multiple times. It is a good weight, no plastic lightweight. I like it very much.

It doesn't leave a "sticky" surface per se, it is more that the top layer/coating that is left on the surface feels rubbery and less slippery - it is what causes the "beading effect". It was, from my experience a temporary result that went away with cleaning (unfortunately the beading effect also minimises with cleaning on my Pietra del Cardosa)

With the friction of the sliding pin and folding arms, the protective coating does wear off. Rust will show up.
