Different Applications Of Custom Coatings

By Jerri Perry


Materials that make different products and surfaces can suffer from various weaknesses including inflexibility, corrosion, less strength, and reduced durability. The application of custom coatings is intended to make surfaces and materials to be more useful. The coats may prevent things like corrosions, sticky surfaces, skidding, or enhance visibility on surfaces.

The customized coat offers an insulation and buffer zone to products. The insulation and barriers prevent forces of nature or manmade effects from damaging the products. When materials are exposed to environment and unforeseen circumstances, they diminish in quality and dependability of the materials which make them.

A metal product for example, may suffer from corrosion and rusting when it is exposed to weather changes like moisture, heat, and oxygen. Abrasions on surfaces could cause deformations and unimpressive look. Plastic objects exposed to extreme heat can deform or harden and break easily. When the materials are coated, they are guarded against the damages.

Powder coats are able to resist cracking and peeling. They are also resistant to corrosion, abrasion, chemicals, and other substances that could cause wear and tear. Because metals tend to rust and corrode when exposed to moisture and oxygen, when they are coated using this technique, they become non-corrosive. The oxidation process responsible for rusting and corrosion makes metal structures to become weak.

In industries, the floors may be coated with nonskid coats to make them less slippery and protect people from slips and falls due to spillage of liquids. Moreover, photoluminescent coats provide a bit of light and visibility in darkness when the lights go out. This makes it easy for people to see surfaces when it suddenly becomes dark. This may be useful for emergency purposes when the lights are likely to go off.

Others may be coated in order to make them attain grip and become anti-slippery such as floors or pavements. The coating material may add anti-slip adhesive surfaces on products to prevent slip and fall in the event of emergency. You may have surfaces coated to make them glow in the dark and allow people to see them. Others are simply resurfaced to make them more functional and durable.

Surfaces that handle sticky materials and substances such as cookware can be turned to a better operating surface with the non-stick characteristic. This allows the sticky substance to be able to flow smoothly through the surface of a machine or part without sticking on the walls. Such coats are used in pan, pots, and cookware to protect them from the menace caused by the sticky substances.

It can be used to increase the hardness of a product. It could also be used to enhance flexibility, and offer protection against corrosion. Finding the right company that offers custom coatings for your specific material or surfaces can be difficult. Because of the wide range of coat materials and applications used to coat surfaces, you need to be careful when you choose a company to coat your products.
