Use Of Surface Protection Coatings Across Different Industries

Considering the presence of harsh environmental elements in our atmosphere, technologists have discovered the need to develop a protective, hydrophobic coating which has resulted in the form of High-Performance Surface Protection Coatings. Nano coatings have durable and hydrophobic properties which shields metallic surfaces from water, oils, chemicals, abrasion, rust and more. This article is composed with intention to provide a useful information to readers about some of the industries that use durable, hydrophobic, and oleophobic nanocoatings. Read on to know more about them.

Medical Industry: Medical industry is a vastly spread industry across the globe. There are innumerable medical devices and equipment which are manufactured to cater to the needs and requirements of several medical institutions. Extensive use of these devices and equipments has made it necessary to manufacture them with added surface protection which will ensure its extended longevity and durability. Hydrophobic and Oleophobic surfaces help to repel water and oil away from the surface which helps in reducing bacteria formation and scale.

Metallic Surfaces and Alloys: Metals and alloys are prone to rust, corrosion, stains, scratching, and abrasion due to constant and prolonged exposure to harsh weather conditions and other environmental pollutants. Surfaces covered with nano protection coatings are resistant to water, oil, moisture and UV rays, making them appear as good as new and protecting their structural integrity.

Electronics and Electronic Components: Surface Protection Coatings are extensively used in electronics industry for circuit boards and other electronics protection. Superior electronic insulation is achieved due to its silicon based chemistry. This insulating property safeguards electronics and connections from water and corrosion, resulting in extended shelf life and constant performance of the devices.

Appliances and Industrial Equipment: Nanocoatings is the best safeguard for appliances and industrial equipment due to its hydrophobic and oleophobic properties. Hydrophobic surfaces repel water away from the surface as if it was afraid of the water, while oleophobic surfaces repel oil away from the surface as if it was afraid of the oil. It is a well-established fact that industrial equipments are constant exposed to harsh weather conditions and other environmental pollutants resulting in rust and corrosion which can have an adverse effect on their performance as well as structural integrity. When Surface Protective Coatings are applied on the top of industrial surfaces, a protective layer is formed on it which prevents environmental elements from coming into direct contact with the surface and causing damage.

Automotive: Nanocoatings have proved to be great boon for the automotive sector which uses metal in significant proportions. Surface protection coating offer excellent, high-performance exterior protection for painted and unpainted surfaces. Hydrophobic and oleophobic properties prevent water and oil from coming into the direct contact with the surface by forming a protecting layer between these elements and surface underneath. This protective layer also offers excellent protection from harmful UV rays, corrosion, chemicals, tree sap and insects. Polymer films, more harder than underlying paint, offers additional resistance from scratches and abrasions.

Wrapping it up, aforementioned are some of the industries which use surface protection coatings for enhanced appearance of their products as well as extended life span which significantly reduces maintenance and repair costs.
