external coating
1Coating — is a covering that is applied to the surface of an object, usually referred to as the substrate. In many cases coatings are applied to improve surface properties of the substrate, such as appearance, adhesion, wetability, corrosion resistance,… …
2Coating and printing processes — involve the application of a thin film of functional material to a substrate, such as roll of paper, fabric, film or other textile. The coating or printing can be applied to serve some sort of function (e.g. water proofing) or just for decoration …
3External lamina — is a structure similar to basal lamina that surrounds the sarcolemma of muscle cells. It is secreted by myocytes and consists primarily of Collagen type IV, laminin and perlecan (heparan sulfate proteoglycan). Nerve cells, including perineurial… …
4Conformal coating — material is applied to electronic circuitry to act as protection against moisture, dust, chemicals, and temperature extremes that, if uncoated (non protected), could result in damage or failure of the electronics to function. When electronics… …
5Optical coating — Optically coated mirrors and lenses. An optical coating is one or more thin layers of material deposited on an optical component such as a lens or mirror, which alters the way in which the optic reflects and transmits light. One type of optical… …
6Curtain Coating — is a process that creates an uninterrupted curtain of fluid that falls onto a substrate. The substrate is transported on a conveyer belt at a regulated speed through the curtain to ensure an even coat of the die. The curtain is created by using a …
7Chromate conversion coating — Not to be confused with Chrome plating or Diffusion hardening. Zinc chromate conversion coating on small steel parts. Chromate conversion coating is a type of conversion coating used to passivate aluminum, zinc, cadmium, copper …
8Powder coating — is a type of dry coating, which is applied as a free flowing, dry powder. The main difference between a conventional liquid paint and a powder coating is that the powder coating does not require a solvent to keep the binder and filler parts in a… …
9Fusion bonded epoxy coating — Fusion bonded epoxy coating, also known as fusion bond epoxy powder coating and commonly referred to as FBE coating, is an epoxy based powder coating that is widely used to protect steel pipe used in pipeline construction, concrete reinforcing… …
10Industrial coating — An industrial coating is a paint or coating defined by its protective, rather than its aesthetic properties, although it can provide both. The most common use of industrial coatings is for corrosion control of steel or concrete. Other functions… …
