unusual facts about coating


Cupping tester

This sort of test is essential because it allows one to test the durability of a lacquer or protective coating before the coating is applied to a product.


Chocolate bloom

Condensation on to the surface of the chocolate or moisture in the chocolate coating causes the sugar to absorb the moisture and dissolve.

Deadly Little Christmas

When Taylor and Noel arrive, they find the bodies of all the recent victims seated at a table in a mockery of The Last Supper, and their mother and Devin, the latter claiming that Mrs. Merriman is the killer of their father and everyone else, and that she framed him due to being a misandrist; the girls at first refuse to believe Devin, until they notice the blood coating their mother's arms.

Diamond-like carbon

DLC is also used in the engines of modern supersport motorcycles, Formula 1 racecars, NASCAR vehicles, and as a coating on hard-disk platters and hard-disk read heads to protect against head crashes.

Ducati Hypermotard

The more expensive 1100S featured a durable low friction diamond-like carbon (DLC) black coating to the front fork sliders, an Öhlins remote reservoir rear shock, the same Brembo Monobloc brake calipers used on the 1098, lighter forged aluminium Marchesini wheels with a red pin-stripe, Pirelli tires, plus carbon fibre fork protectors, timing belt covers, front mudguard/ fender and tail/ exhaust side panels.

Electrodeposition

Electroplating, a process that uses electrical current to reduce dissolved metal cations so that they form a coherent metal coating on an electrode

Electrophoretic deposition, a term for a broad range of industrial processes which includes electrocoating, e-coating, cathodic electrodeposition, anodic electrodeposition,and electrophoretic coating, or electrophoretic painting

Electrorheological fluid

The high yield strength is due to the high dielectric constant of the particles, the small size of the particles and the Urea coating.

Enamel

Vitreous enamel, a smooth, durable coating made of melted and fused glass powder

Encapsulation

Micro-encapsulation, in material science, the coating of microscopic particles with another material

General-purpose bomb

Since the Vietnam War, United States Navy and United States Marine Corps GP bombs are distinguished by a thick ablative fire-retardant coating, which is designed to delay any potential accidental explosion in the event of a shipboard fire.

German submarine U-480

U-480 was an experimental Kriegsmarine Type VIIC U-boat of World War II, considered by many to be the first stealth submarine,it was equipped with a special rubber coating (codenamed "Alberich", probably after the German mythological character who had the ability to become invisible), that made it difficult to detect with British ASDIC (sonar).

Griddle

A well prepared A36 steel surface can readily accept the trivalent chrome coating for a superior overall finish, which can reduce overall plate and unit costs.

High-energy X-rays

Interfaces and layers in complicated environments, such as the intermetallic reaction of ZINCALUME surface coating on industrial steel in the liquid bath.

High-temperature sewing threads

Kevlar-coated stainless steel sewing threads have a high-temperature and flame-resistant steel core combined with Kevlar coating designed to facilitate easier machine sewing.

Hot-dip galvanization

In 1742, French chemist Paul Jacques Malouin described a method of coating iron by dipping it in molten zinc in a presentation to the French Royal Academy.

Kitchen cabinet

Melamine is a coating for furniture board panels in carcases.

Leather production processes

The operation flow has to follow the preparatory → tanning → crusting → surface coating sub-process order without deviation, but some of the sub-processes can be omitted to make certain leathers (or partially tanned/ untanned products).

Leon Van Speybroeck

The Chandra x-ray mirrors resulted from over two decades of collaboration between Van Speybroeck and colleagues at the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory and scientists and engineers affiliated with NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center, TRW Inc., Hughes-Danbury (now BF Goodrich Aerospace), Optical Coating Laboratories, Inc.

Lord Corporation

LORD built a facility in Saegertown, Pennsylvania to manufacture Chemlok adhesives and Chemglaze coating.

Maia Municipality

Among its industries are Sonae Indústria, a leading wood-based products company; market leader for paint & coating products CIN; fruit processing company Frulact; and cereal processing company Cerealis, which are headquartered in the municipality.

Nikasil

Suzuki currently uses a race-proven nickel phosphorus-silicon-carbide proprietary coating trademarked SCEM (Suzuki Composite Electro-chemical Material) to maximize cylinder size and improve heat dissipation, e.g., on the engine of the Suzuki TL1000S, V-Strom 650, TU250X and Hayabusa motorcycles.

Non-Evaporable Getter

Sintered onto the inner surface of high vacuum vessels, the NEG coating can be applied even to spaces that are narrow and hard to pump out, which makes it very popular in particle accelerators where this is an issue.

OC Oerlikon

The different activities are organized as business units: Oerlikon Balzers for coating services, Oerlikon Leybold for vacuum solutions and Oerlikon Textile for textile technology, etc.

Optical coating

These were the first type of antireflection coating known, having been discovered by Lord Rayleigh in 1886.

Paraloid B-72

Paraloid B-72 or B-72 is a thermoplastic resin that was created by Rohm and Haas for use as a surface coating and as a vehicle for flexographic ink.

Photographic lens design

The last important Zeiss innovation before the Second World War was the technique of applying anti-reflective coating to lens surfaces invented by Olexander Smakula in 1935.

PLATIT

Competitors include Oerlikon Balzers, Ionbond (IHI Japan), Hauzer Techno Coating (IHI Japan), Sulzer (Metaplas Ionbond), and Cemecon Germany.

Polycarbonate

This either can be a coating (e.g. for improved abrasion resistance), or a coextrusion for enhanced weathering resistance.

Polythiophene

As an example of a static application, poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)-poly(styrene sulfonate) (PEDOT-PSS) product Clevios P (Figure 7) from Heraeus has been extensively used as an antistatic coating (as packaging materials for electronic components, for example).

Sandstrom Products Company

Sandstrom Products Company is a privately held coatings and lubricants manufacturer founded in 1946 in Port Byron, Illinois.

Savage Land Mutates

Worm is a mutate who secretes mucus that allows him to override other living beings' motor and autonomic nervous functions after coating them with it.

Silanization of silicon and mica

Silanization of silicon and mica is the coating of these materials with a thin layer of self assembling units.

Tini

Titanium nitride, an extremely hard ceramic material, often used as a coating to improve surface properties

Undercoat

Underseal, thick resilient coating applied to the underbody or chassis of an automobile to protect against impact damage from small stones
