Chemical-Resistant Coatings

A coating is a covering that is applied to the surface of an object, usually referred to as the substrate. The purpose of applying the coating may be functional, as well as aesthetic. Functional coatings may be applied to change the surface properties of the substrate, such as adhesion, wetability, corrosion resistance, or wear resistance.

A coating is a covering that is applied to the surface of an object, usually referred to as the substrate. The purpose of applying the coating may be functional, as well as aesthetic. Functional coatings may be applied to change the surface properties of the substrate, such as adhesion, wetability, corrosion resistance, or wear resistance. A major consideration for most coating processes is that the coating is to be applied at a controlled thickness, and a number of different processes are in use to achieve this control. In the case of chemical-resistant coatings, the type and nature of the chemical(s) will determine the coating to be used. Less
