The Importance Of Custom Coatings On Surfaces And Products

By Jerri Perry


Coating parts, metals, plastics, wood, or other substrates adds a layer of protection, strength, and stability besides the functionality quality. In metals, custom coatings can help prevent corrosion and rusting, and allow the product to harden and make it more functional for use. Coats enhance the durability, flexibility, and rigidity of surfaces and materials for enhanced functionality. Besides, the coats also increase the aesthetic value of products by making them look more attractive and appealing.

Customized coats are important procedures applied to create more functionality, decoration, durability, strength, and rigidity on products. They can be used to offer anti-slip surfaces on products making them safe for use. An anti-slip coats can be applied on the handle of something like a knife to create the grip needed to hold and use it safely.

You may also have different textures on the finished coat to enable you achieve the best results. Most appliances such as knives, cooking pots, utensils, and cooktops are coated with this type of coating. In the automobile industry, its applications are boundless and it can be used for decorations of trim as well as creation of anti-chipping hoods.

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.
