Rinse aid materials for coating, coating compositions, methods and articles
of manufacture for use in automatic dishwashing appliances comprising a
nanoparticle system or employing the same to impart surface modifying
benefits for all types of dishware surfaces are disclosed. In some
embodiments, dispersement of nanoparticles in a suitable carrier medium
allows for the creation of rinse aid surface coating compositions, methods
and articles of manufacture that create multi-use benefits to modified
dishware surfaces. These surface modifications can produce long lasting or
semi-permanent multi-use benefits that include at least one of the
following improved surface properties: wetting and sheeting, uniform
drying, anti-spotting, anti-staining, anti-filming, self cleaning, and
durability benefits, relative to dishware surfaces unmodified with such
nanoparticle systems. In some embodiments, actively curing the rinse aid
surface coating composition on the dishware surfaces, including, but not
limited to by radiative heating the air surrounding the dishware surface
with the coating thereon can be used to increase the durability of the
dishware surface coating.
