A method for forming a decoration on a coating of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) applied on a metallic substrate as applicable in particular to internal and/or external decoration of culinary utensils, and comprising the following steps: forming an anti-adhesive layer of a composition based on an aqueous dispersion of PTFE, which may or may not be colored, on the metallic substrate, after drying and prior to sintering of the anti-adhesive layer, applying on this layer through a serigraphic screen a colored composition containing an aqueous dispersion or a powder of fluorocarbon resin to which are added a thickening and/or gelling agent and a solvent which is miscible with water and has a vapor pressure below that of water after drying, baking the two layers thus obtained simultaneously in order to sinter all the particles of PTFE and of fluorocarbon resin. |

DETAILED DESCRIPTION What is claimed is: 1.
A method for forming a decoration on a coating of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) applied on a metallic substrate, wherein said method comprises the following steps: forming a layer of anti-adhesive coating product based on an aqueous dispersion of PTFE on the metallic substrate, drying said layer and prior to sintering said layer, applying on said layer through a serigraphic screen a colored composition containing an aqueous dispersion of fluorocarbon resin or a powder of fluorocarbon resin, a solvent which is miscible with water and has a vapor pressure below that of water after drying, and a thickening and/or gelling agent in a quantity sufficient to convert the composition to a paste or gel in which the resin particles are separated from each other, and thereafter baking simultaneously the two layers thus obtained in order to sinter all the particles of PTFE and of fluorocarbon resin.
2.
A method according to claim 1, wherein the thickening and/or gelling agent is present in an amount such as to provide said composition with a viscosity within the range of 10,000 to 120,000 centipoises.
3.
A method according to claim 1, wherein the fluorocarbon resin is selected from the group consisting of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), tetrafluoroalcoxy (TFA) resin and fluorinated ethylene propylene (FEP) resin or a mixture of these resins.
4.
A method according to claim 1, wherein the composition containing the fluorocarbon resin is supplied with an addition consisting of a base so as to ensure that the pH value of this composition is higher than 9.
5.
A method according to claim 1, wherein the thickening and/or gelling agent is a chemical compound which sublimates at a temperature below or equal to the sintering temperature of the particles of PTFE and of fluorocarbon resin.
6.
A method according to claim 1, wherein the thickening and/or gelling agent is a copolymer of acrylic acid and/or methacrylic acid.
7.
A method according to claim 1, wherein the thickening and/or gelling agent is selected from the group consisting of bentones, polysaccharides, alginates, carboxymethylcellulose, and guaranates
