Definitions

• the invention relates to a method for coating a base element for a household appliance component.
• the invention further relates to a household appliance component comprising a coated base element, and to a household appliance comprising said household appliance component.
• Hydrophobic surfaces are a topic of increasing importance in household appliances and are required in many applications.
• a hydrophobic surface property is especially useful if water or other hydrophilic substances are required to be kept away from certain surface areas. Examples comprise water repellent surfaces on cooktops, easy to clean surfaces, anti-fingerprint properties, and the prevention of water from conductive or capacitive areas.
• currently known coatings either exhibit rather low degrees of hydrophobicity or require complex and expensive materials and coating methods to achieve sufficiently large contact angles.
• a further task of the invention consists in providing a household appliance component comprising a base element with an inexpensive hydrophobic coating. Still further, it is an object of the current invention to provide a household appliance comprising at least one household appliance component with an inexpensive hydrophobic coating.
• a first aspect of the invention relates to a method for coating a base element for a household appliance component, comprising at least the steps of depositing at least one silicon dioxide containing layer onto at least one surface of the base element by combustion chemical vapour deposition and coating at least a portion of the at least one silicon dioxide layer using at least one fluorosilane.
• the method according to the invention allows the manufacturing of hydrophobic and even superhydrophobic surfaces through the combination of one or more silicon dioxide containing layers, which are deposited onto at least one surface of the base element by combustion chemical vapour deposition, and the subsequent coating of the silicon dioxide containing layer(s) using at least one fluorosilane as coating agent.
• the deposition by combustion chemical vapour deposition comprises the flame-pyrolytic deposition of (usually amorphous) silicon dioxide onto the base material to create a type of silicate coating.
• the surface to be treated is fed through a gas flame which is doped with a silicon-containing material, the so called pyrosil.
• the pyrosil burns in the flame and deposits as nanoparticles of silica on the surface in a firmly adhering coating. Due to the short flame-substrate interaction the material's surface temperature remains low.
• the first deposition step is suitable not only for base materials made of glass, ceramics, or metal but also for base materials made of plastics, wood, or other materials, so that any kind of household appliance component may be provided with a hydrophobic coating.
• Freshly deposited silica layers are highly reactive and thus serve as adhesion promoting layers for the following coating with fluorosilane. Adhesion can be further improved by application of additional silane-based adhesion promoters. Alternatively it may be provided that the layer consists of silicon oxide.
• the present invention is based on the insight that the deposition of said one or more silicon dioxide containing layer(s) increases significantly the hydrophobicity, effectiveness, and controllability of the subsequent coating step with one or more fluorosilanes. It may be provided that the resulting layer consists of said one or more fluorosilanes. Alternatively, the resulting layer may comprise or consist of reaction products of the fluorosilane(s) and/or contain one or more further components. This allows for a fast and easy manufacturing of coatings with a higher degree of hydrophobicity than conventional coatings. Still further, the necessary base materials, i.e.
• the silicon-containing precursor material and the fluorosilane are commercially available so that no expensive high performance materials are needed to achieve hydrophobic or even superhydrophobic surface properties with water contact angles of at least 150° or more. Both steps, i.e. the deposition and the coating step, may independently of each other generally be carried out once or multiple times to adjust the respective layer properties.
• the silicon dioxide contained layer it might be also used a titanium contained based layer.
• the base element is at least in portions cleaned and/or pretreated before depositing the at least one silicon dioxide containing layer. This improves the adherence of the deposited silicon oxide layer(s).
• the base element is cleaned by applying a cleaning medium and/or by ultrasonic cleaning and/or that the base element is pretreated by drying and/or ozone treatment.
• the base material may be cleaned with water and a detergent or with an alcohol such as ethanol or isopropanol.
• the base material may be immersed in water and treated with ultrasounds for up to several minutes, e. g. 10 minutes. This may be repeated several times with optional intermediate rinsing steps.
• the base material may be dried by heating and/or by applying compressed air.
• an ozone treatment removes residuals from the surface and improves the adherence of the silicon dioxide containing layer(s) especially in the case of glass surfaces and other surfaces with free OH groups.
• an organosilane precursor in particular tetraethoxysilane and/or tetramethylsilane, is used for depositing the at ntaining layer.

• PFOTCSi perfluorooctyl)silane
• Both substances exhibit excellent hydrophobic properties in combination with the one or more silicon dioxide containing layer(s) due to their extreme low surface energy and the fast and easy reaction of their silane groups with hydroxyl groups of the silicon dioxide containing layer(s).
• the base element is coated with said at least one layer of fluorosilane by immersing at least a part of the base element one or multiple times for a predetermined time in a coating agent comprising said at least one fluorosilane.
• This so called dip coating step allows for a fast and easy coating of large base materials and of base materials with complex geometries. This step may of course be repeated once or multiple times with the same or different coating agents, allowing a series of thin layers to bulk up to a relatively thick final layer system.
