Durilium technology - the innovative sole of Tefal irons

Technical progress has stepped far forward, and modern manufacturing companies offer a huge number of irons for every taste. There are irons on sale with touch controls, self-cleaning functions and even vertical steaming. But the most important element is still the sole. It is the one that comes into contact with the fabric, which means it plays a key role in the ironing process. But even here, manufacturers manage to confuse the buyer by offering a huge range of irons with soles made of a variety of materials to choose from. Today we’ll talk about the latest innovative development from Tefal - the durilium airglide iron sole.

What is it like?

It is not for nothing that the advertising slogan Tefal really cares about its customers, makes life easier and creates comfort in their homes with the help of its products. One of Tefal's latest developments is the Durilium Airglide iron sole.

All devices with Durilium Airglide soles are manufactured in France, where product quality is constantly monitored.

Due to numerous requests from customers, Tefal engineers have developed a completely new iron sole, which currently has no analogues in the whole world. The Durilium Airglide sole has a 33% higher slip rate than its predecessors. The Durilium Airglide sole consists of a metal-ceramic base with an enamel coating, rather than just ceramic.
In addition, the sole is covered with an improved two-layer coating containing quartz.

Kinds

The distinctive features of Durilium technology are two functions: airglide and autoclean. Let's look at them in more detail.

Thanks to the use of an improved enamel formula in the manufacture of the iron sole, as well as due to the competent and precise location of the holes on the sole, optimal steam distribution occurs. The innovative structure of the sole directly contributes to the formation of air cushions, which in turn reduce the load on the hands and make ironing easier. The ironing process will be significantly reduced, and the remaining time can be spent with loved ones. In addition, the well-thought-out shape of the sole allows you to ideally iron clothes made of different fabrics, including delicate ones. The soleplate of the Durilium iron with the Airglide function will iron equally well both children's clothes and curtains, cotton and linen, and very dry clothes.

Another proprietary development from Tefal is the Autoclean self-cleaning function.

The thin quartz coating with advanced double-layer coating makes the Durilium sole truly unique. Quartz is an excellent catalyst. As the iron heats up, the soleplate cleans itself. This happens as follows: under the influence of high temperatures, the sole breaks down dirt and scale, turning them into carbon dioxide and water. That is, the iron not only masterfully copes with all its functions, but also cleans itself during the ironing process. Is not that great? And most importantly, this coating does not lose its beneficial properties over the years.

To summarize, it is worth noting that these are not all technical developments aimed at simplifying and modernizing the process of ironing clothes, because there is no limit to perfection! Tefal engineers know this and try their best to ensure that you and I are satisfied with the result.

The importance of the sole in the design of the iron

No matter how innovative and technologically advanced the iron is, the main element in this household electrical appliance is still the soleplate. In fact, it is with its help that high-quality gliding occurs over tissues of various structures and densities. The soleplate for the iron is responsible for the efficiency of ironing, the pressure on the material, the direction of movement, the quality of ironing small parts and delicate fabrics. After all, there is nothing more offensive than annoying stains left by an iron on your favorite clothes.

To prevent a heated electrical appliance from leaving marks and burning holes in things dear to your heart, you need to find out what its base is made of and what coating is applied.

Now there are more than twenty types of coatings, the main function of which is flawless and safe ironing. So what should the ideal sole be?

1. The sliding of the unit over various tissues, regardless of structure, should be smooth and soft.
2. There should be no cracks or damage; strength and wear resistance are important.
3. It is necessary that the base heats up quickly and evenly.
4. Should handle delicate fabrics without damaging them.

Features of Tefal irons

Their main advantage is associated with the use of innovative technologies and patented sole material.

They do their job perfectly without additional moisture.

The non-stick coating ensures high-quality smoothing of even the most delicate fabrics.

A special steaming system makes it possible to tidy up clothes without removing them from the hanger.

The company produces several product lines:

1. Ultimate Anti-Calk irons have impeccable glide due to the presence of a collector that collects scale, and are able to tolerate water of any quality.
2. Aquaspeed devices have a self-cleaning sole.
3. Ultragliss devices have a drop-shaped metal-ceramic sole and an eco-function.
4. Easygliss irons are equipped with a special Durilium sole and a steam distribution control system.
5. Maestro devices concentrate steam at the device's spout, which ensures perfect ironing of shirts and other clothes.

A wide range of products in different price ranges allows you to choose the right device, taking into account the individual needs of a person.

Contents of delivery

The iron comes in a cardboard box, the bottom of the iron is protected by a foam backing, and on top there is a small corner protection for the iron handle. The power cable is not secured in any way, so the body of the iron may receive minor scratches during transportation.

In addition to the iron itself, the manufacturer has provided only a set of documentation - a user manual, warranty card and safety instructions. It’s a pity that the manufacturer did not include a measuring cup in the model, considering that this is a steam iron and there is a need to add water to the device’s reservoir.

Outsole materials

Aluminum

The soles for the very first irons were made from this metal, and to this day aluminum remains the simplest, most classic and affordable material.

Aluminum has high thermal conductivity, so such devices heat up quickly and cool down just as quickly.

This is convenient if you urgently need to iron this or that item and put the iron aside without waiting for it to cool down. Undoubtedly, the advantage of aluminum coating can be considered its low cost, affordable to any buyer. Unfortunately, the aluminum soleplate for the iron is not considered very durable: the metal is light and soft, therefore, it is easily deformed. When ironing products with buttons, zippers and other accessories, you risk damaging the coating; cracks and scratches will remain on it. As a result, ironing efficiency will decrease, and a damaged soleplate can ruin the fabric.

However, modern manufacturers have found a way out of this situation. Thus, it presented models of irons with fully anodized aluminum in the sole. Unlike the usual one, it is thermally more stable and not prone to deformation.

Stainless steel

If we consider the most durable iron sole material, stainless steel comes to mind first. It does not have such high thermal conductivity properties as aluminum, but it is not at all subject to deformation. Also, steel does not oxidize and corrosion does not occur on its surface. Therefore, you don’t have to worry that the iron will quickly break down or require special care and maintenance.

Of course, stainless steel sole material has its pros and cons. Stainless steel is affordable for almost every buyer, it heats up well and maintains heat for a long time, and the coating itself is resistant to deformation and rust. Stainless steel can be cleaned with plain water or special solutions. In addition, devices with a steel base smooth out fabrics of various structures and densities and glide easily on any type of surface. The disadvantages include the heavy weight of the unit with a stainless steel base. Owners of such irons can easily feel like heroines of the last century, when incredibly heavy cast iron irons were common in everyday life.

Modern models have additional coatings on stainless steel. This ensures the longest possible service life, increases strength and resistance to damage.

For example, home appliance manufacturers Braun create irons with heavy-duty soles called Saphir. As a rule, it comes with additional attachments for ironing delicate fabrics, which guarantees the highest quality ironing and full steam supply. Sapphire is one of the hardest and at the same time expensive materials, so sapphire coating will increase the final cost of the device. However, in this case you are paying for quality, because the glide of the iron over the fabric will be much better.

Ceramics

To understand which coating will be the best option, we suggest considering another type of sole: ceramics.

Electrical appliances with such a coating ensure easy sliding on the fabric, do not leave marks and do not overheat. In addition, they are much lighter and more maneuverable than their stainless steel counterparts.

Ceramics heats up in the shortest possible time and retains heat for a long time, and is also easy to clean. You can clean the base of the iron either with specialized solutions or with an ordinary sponge slightly moistened with water (depending on the degree of contamination). The disadvantage of ceramics is their instability to damage and excessive fragility. An iron with a ceramic sole should be stored carefully and carefully, avoiding impacts on the surface or contact with heavy metal objects.

Metal ceramics

One of the most popular options for coating the soleplate of an iron is cermet. This material has a number of advantages, but does not significantly increase the cost of the device. It is easy to clean: simply wipe the surface with a cloth. The appearance of such soles is presentable. Irons with metal-ceramic soles are in high demand.

The heating elements are often spirals, and occasionally heating elements. Heat is quickly and evenly distributed over the work surface.

Since metal ceramics are partly ceramics, there are also disadvantages in this type of coating. It is fragile and can be easily damaged mechanically.

Manufacturers found such a solution: transverse strips of steel were applied to the sole using the casting method, which is more “elastic” in its properties than ceramics. This sole perfectly irons, for example, rough, dry laundry, and at the same time is resistant to scratches and chips. The heat distribution in the working surface is such that the spout is full in terms of temperature (in older models it is colder), which allows you to cope with difficult places.

The best cermets are offered by Tefal . This brand was one of the first to master the production technology of this kind of soles and by now has mastered it perfectly, having removed all the shortcomings from the height of experience and improved the quality to the highest possible.

Titanium

Perhaps the highest quality material in terms of use. The titanium coating is absolutely impervious to damage, while ensuring free gliding and maneuverability of the iron. They are resistant to corrosion, oxidation and unwanted damage, scratches and cracks. True, there is also a significant drawback: titanium has low thermal conductivity, which means the sole takes a long time to heat up.

The cost of titanium irons is very high, and finding them among modern models is very difficult.

Teflon

A good option for those who often deal with ironing delicate fabrics. The Teflon coating is gentle on thin, easily perishable fabrics, does not scorch or burn them, and leaves virtually no marks. The obvious disadvantage of such a coating is its fragility; when ironing things with fittings, locks, zippers, there is a high risk of damaging the sole, which will subsequently affect the performance of the iron.

Choosing the optimal coating option

Time does not stand still, and every year iron manufacturers offer more and more advanced technologies in the manufacture of bases. Let's consider coating options from the most popular brands of household appliances and find out which one is the most optimal in terms of quality and technical characteristics.

Steamglide

Steamglide coating from the Philips brand is characterized by increased wear resistance and protection from mechanical damage - cracks, scratches, chips. What makes Steamglide technology unique? The material used in the production of the coating is glass ceramics or metal ceramics. This gives the sole lightness, and the iron as a whole - freedom of movement and smooth gliding. The basis here is alloy steel because it is less susceptible to mechanical damage.

The profile of the sole is pierced with holes of various sizes, which is very convenient when supplying steam: the iron heats up evenly, and steam comes out in sufficient quantities, creating the effect of a steam cushion.

During ironing, the unit almost does not touch the fabric directly, but at the same time it smoothes and steams it at the same time. The company recently introduced an improved Steamglide plus coating - it is more resistant to scratches and creates a tension effect during ironing.

Thus, the sole of the Steamglide iron is almost universal, and the price of irons with such a coating is quite affordable for any consumer.

Eloxal

Household appliances manufacturer Braun is also keeping up with its competitors. Their new product is the Eloxal coating, which is also resistant to mechanical damage and is particularly wear-resistant. This sole is based on aluminum, but not simple aluminum, but oxidized by electrolytes. Such aluminum heats up quickly, glides easily over fabric, is smooth to the touch, but at the same time is not as susceptible to deformation as regular aluminum. Like the Steamglide coating, the Eloxal soles are perforated with holes of varying diameters for a more even and powerful steam delivery.

When choosing Eloxal , pay attention to the cost - such irons are budget-friendly and accessible to all categories of buyers.

Saphir

This development was also patented by the German brand Braun. The sole is made of steel with a complex composition. To improve its properties, compounds of chromium, nickel, zinc, aluminum and sapphire microparticles are added to it. Every “additive” matters. As a result, the sole has the best glide, while in terms of wear resistance and strength it is really close to sapphire. As a result, the surface has the following properties.

1. Strength. Before the development of this sole, steel irons were the best for wear resistance. Steel is a fairly plastic material, so it is resistant to many types of deformations. Braun, with its invention Saphir, has taken the quality of the sole to a new level: wear resistance is 4 times higher, while gliding has also become better. The strength of the material is such that if it accidentally passes over a metal zipper or button, the surface is not damaged at all.
2. Better glide. The feel of this sole during operation is comparable to the best ceramic options. The weight of the iron is not felt and ironing is very easy.
3. Iron weight. The quality of ironing with such a sole allows you not to artificially weigh down the device itself; this is not necessary. The average weight of an iron with a Saphir soleplate is 1.4 kg. This is the optimal indicator.
4. Excellent thermal conductivity. Additives to steel have improved this property compared to conventional stainless steel.
5. Protection against "temperature shock". Such a sole is not afraid of sudden changes in temperature. It can withstand up to 10 thousand similar cycles without defects.

This invention has one drawback - its price. An iron with a Saphir or Saphir 3D sole costs from 5 thousand with average characteristics to 10 thousand with good power and additional options.

Durilium

Another type of coating that is worthy of attention is the latest development from the manufacturer Tefal. The coating is called Durilium, and thanks to the unique technology, the iron glides easily and softly, scratches on the sole almost do not appear, and the fabric is smoothed out with high quality, without marks, stains or scorch marks.

Durilium is a metal-ceramic coating, but, unfortunately, it is fragile and therefore requires careful use and careful maintenance.

Specifications

Its advantages

These high-tech innovations achieve an exceptional degree of self-cleaning and increase resistance to scratches. Thanks to the cutting-edge material, the sole not only glides better, but also has a number of other important advantages. It is similar to impact-resistant glass: just as smooth on the outside, but very dense and resistant on the inside. It does not absorb odors, is not exposed to bacteria and harmful microorganisms, does not become stained, and cannot be damaged by quickly changing ironing modes. The Durilium Airglide sole is resistant to alkalis and acids that can cause metal corrosion.

There are small holes along the entire surface of the sole to create a steam cushion. In addition, parallel lines are applied along the entire sole. All together ensures perfect gliding of the iron, which results in easy, efficient and pleasant ironing. Each burst of steam is very powerful - 135 g/min. The automatic setting function allows steam to penetrate even deeper into the fabric, which allows you to smooth out even the smallest wrinkles on clothes . The unique “stop-drip” function prevents water and steam from leaving streaks and wet marks on things.

Integrated anti-scale protection and an anti-lime rod will protect the sole from damage and increase its service life. With the help of a special collector for collecting scale, the process of cleaning the soleplate of the iron will become quick and easy.

What to look for when choosing a sole

When choosing an iron, you should pay attention not only to the material of the sole, but also to other important design features.

1. Trailing edge. The rounded geometry of the back surface makes ironing easier, especially when moving backwards.
2. Spout shape. It should be sharp enough to fit between buttons and other similar places.
3. Location and number of steam holes. Many holes distributed over the entire surface and soles will facilitate the steaming process.
4. Availability of a “platform”. The sole protruding along the perimeter with a thin edge can fit under the stitching of a shirt or button.
