A coating is a covering applied to the surface of an object, often referred to as a substrate. The purpose of applying the coating may be decorative, functional, or both. The coating itself may be a full coating, completely covering the substrate, or it may cover only the portion of the substrate. An example of all of these types of coatings is the product label on
many beverage bottles - one side with a full-function coating (adhesive)
and the other with one or more appropriate patterns (printed) to form
words and images.
Paint and paint are mainly used to protect the substrate and decorative dual-use paint, although some artists paint only for decoration, and large industrial pipe paint may only be used to prevent corrosion.
Functional Metal Coating can be used to alter the surface properties of the substrate, such as adhesion, wetting, corrosion resistance or abrasion resistance. In other cases, such as the manufacture of semiconductor devices in which the substrate is a wafer, the coating adds new features such as magnetic response or electrical conductivity and forms the major part of the finished product.
The main consideration for most coating processes is that the coating is applied at a controlled thickness and that many different processes are used to achieve this control, from simple brushes for painting walls to some very expensive mechanical applications for electronic industrial coatings. A further consideration of the & quot; all & quot; coating is that the location of the coating application needs to be controlled. Many of these non-full coating processes are the printing process.
Many industrial coating methods involve applying a functional material film to a substrate such as paper, fabric, film, foil or sheet. The process may be referred to as a & quot; roll-to-roll & quot; or & quot; paper-based & quot; coating if the substrate begins and ends the winding process. When wound by a coater, a roll of substrate is often referred to as a web.
