Abstract
The invention relates to a coating composition film or barrier layer containing an inorganic salt composition having a phosphate and a carbonate source and a surfactant composition. The aqueous coating can be applied to surfaces in food preparation units. The compositions of the invention can be used in methods for coating hard surfaces of food preparation units by applying the aqueous material through a spray or other aerosol apparatus to form a uniform coating. Upon drying, the water from the coating can evaporate leaving an organic/inorganic film which can support baked-on food soil and promote easy removal.
