Looks like you're referring to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quasicrystal#Applications, marketed as Cybernox.

But 5 to 13 is a huge jump.

https://www.technologyreview.com/2011/10/12/190784/the-quasi... says "They closed the production line because they had a few problems in the reaction of the coating with salt. If people cook with a lot of salt it will etch the quasicrystalline coating. People didn’t like it, so they did not continue."

I see comments about Cybernox from 2001, so the patents might've expired by now.
