The Importance Of Custom Coatings On Surfaces And Products

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 use of powder coating offers many benefits to products owners. This type of customized coats provides an excellent finish on surfaces, which offer resistance to corrosion, impact, abrasion, heat, and fading from extreme heat and sunlight. The coat can come in almost any color and finish such as low gloss.

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.

Coats applied on surfaces or products make them stand out of their counterparts or similar items by making them more superior and durable. Besides, the coats could be used to enhance the function of some surfaces or items as well as improve the safety of use of the items or surfaces. Some materials may be coated in order to increase their visibility in the dark.

Offering safe places for walking or running on the premises is essential when there are emergencies. People are able to get out of risky areas fast even when there is no light. This means that people do not end up falling in dark trenches or colliding in small spaces during an emergency. Other coats are used to protect surfaces, which tend to stick substances.

In addition, it reduces the cost of coating especially when coating many products or large surfaces areas because parts can be racked together in the conveyor and then passed through quickly in the production line to get the desired coats. If an area of a part does not need to be coated, high temperature masking may be used to keep it from being coated. There are different customized coatings services available to companies and individual home users.

Chemicals can cause damage on surfaces of materials, and to protect them, they can be coated using specialized customized coats. Surfaces that are able to stand up different chemicals can extend their durability if a coat is applied. The coat resists the chemicals from penetrating the substrate and thus making it more durable. Depending on what type of material is being coated, and the purpose of coating, different custom coatings can be used.
