orkla is the first food manufacturer to announce a deal with us company liquiglide to use its nonstick coating in product packaging. liquiglide is a permanently wet, liquidimpregnated surface which is designed to be hyper slippery, with the product sitting directly on a layer of liquid. a liquidimpregnated surface is a multilayer surface, consisting of a customized solid texture and a liquid. the highly textured solid surface is composed of a matrix of features spaced sufficiently close to stably contain the impregnating liquid that fills in the spaces between the features. the liquid is held in place within the texture, creating a permanently slippery, liquid surface. the product is actually sliding on a liquid layer, in a liquidtoliquid interface. liquiglide makes dispensing product very easy. this technology will provide solution for wasted dregs stuck in a bottle of mayo. this technology would offer a brand a unique selling point. according to liquiglide this coating is completely harmless and meets safety standards because it can be made entirely from food. a customised version of the coating is created for each product, resulting in a "permanently wet" surface inside containers that helps the product slip out. the company was founded in 2012 to sell licences for a nonstick technology developed at the massachusetts institute of technology.
