Abstract
The invention provides a treatment plate (10) for a garment treatment appliance (100), the treatment plate (10) having a contact surface (13) that in use slides on a garment (200) being treated, the contact surface (13) comprising a coating (20) comprising a metal oxide coating (21), the metal oxide coating (21) comprising: —first metal ions selected from the group consisting of titanium (Ti), zirconium (Zr), hafnium (Hf), scandium (Sc), and yttrium (Y); and —second metal ions selected from the group consisting of cerium (Ce), manganese (Mn), and cobalt (Co). This invention provides a favorable gliding behavior.
Claims15
A treatment plate for a garment treatment appliance, the treatment plate having a contact surface that in use slides on a garment being treated, the contact surface comprising a coating comprising a metal oxide coating, the metal oxide coating comprising:
- first metal ions selected from the group consisting of titanium (Ti), zirconium (Zr), hafnium (Hf), scandium (Sc), and yttrium (Y);
- and
- second metal ions selected from the group consisting of cerium (Ce), manganese (Mn), and cobalt (Co), wherein the coating comprises a multi-layer coating comprising at least one layer selected from the group consisting of a metal layer, an enamel, and organic polymer comprising layer, an organo silicate comprising layer, a silicate comprising layer, and comprising said metal oxide coating as outer layer.
(canceled)
A method of providing a treatment plate for a garment treatment appliance, the treatment plate having a contact surface that in use slides on a garment being treated, the method comprising the step of providing on at least part of the contact surface a metal oxide coating, wherein the metal oxide coating comprises:
- first metal ions selected from the group consisting of titanium (Ti), zirconium (Zr), hafnium (Hf), scandium (Sc), and yttrium (Y);
- and
- second metal ions selected from the group consisting of cerium (Ce), manganese (Mn) and cobalt (Co), wherein the method comprises providing a precursor of the metal oxide coating to said surface to provide a deposition and curing the deposition to provide said metal oxide coating.
