New coating for a food mixer hook?

[akivas]

My mixer hook coating has peeled off and I am looking for some kind of coating which is food safe.
Any recommendations?

From looking around I understand that coating is a fairly simple task but finding a coat that is also food safe is problematic, to say the least.

What is the base material that you want to coat?

 

[akivas]

Some kind of metal. It was originally coated with black (plastic?) coating.

If it is metal you should go with a powder coating. There are several types that meet health standards for food contact. Another choice would be to have it nickel plated.

Any specific recommendations for a powder?

In the U.S. we used H.B. Fuller. If it is available to you contact them and tell them your application. If you have a metal finishing company in your area it would be good to talk to them.

Metal coatings are coated using epoxies, that makes the surface improved with visual attractive.

I ended up using a food safe teflon coating. The product was originally made for recoating pots and pans but worked perfectly for me.
It was a two layer solution which needed heating to about 200 degrees celius for the base layer and then 400 degrees for the upper tefoln layer. I used my home oven which goes upto 350 degrees and put the hook in the most upper part of the oven and used the grill option to add a few degrees.
