Inorganic Coatings

Inorganic surface coatings refer to thin layers of non-organic or mineral-based materials applied to the surface of various substrates to enhance their properties or provide specific functionalities. These coatings are typically composed of inorganic compounds such as oxides, ceramics, metals, or minerals. The application of inorganic coatings is prevalent in various industries, offering diverse benefits depending on the specific material used and the intended purpose.

Inorganic Coatings

Conversion Coatings

Conversion coatings are surface treatments applied to metals, typically involving chemical reactions that result in the formation of a thin, protective layer on the substrate. These coatings serve various purposes, including corrosion resistance, improved adhesion for subsequent coatings, and enhanced paint adhesion.

Zinc Coatings

Zinc coatings, applied through methods like hot-dip galvanizing, electrogalvanizing (or zinc electroplating), and sherardizing, serve as protective layers for various metal substrates. The goal is to enhance corrosion resistance and prolong the lifespan of the underlying material. In hot-dip galvanizing, steel or iron components are immersed in molten zinc, creating a robust coating that shields...
