Coatings and finishes

Application of protective paints consists of surface preparation of steel, priming coat and finishing coats. Wherever possible, steel should be blast-cleaned before painting. Primers thoroughly wet the metal to promote adhesion of finishing paints and carry inhibitive pigments. For example, red lead oxide will minimize the spread of rust on metal surfaces. The total thickness of fmishing coats must be at least 0.125 mm for adequate protection and life. Four coats of paint usually are necessary to achieve this.

This section does not cover the topic of coatings and finishes. These finishes are usually highly formulated and are applied as multiple-pass coatings which include special primers and intermediate layers. They may include pigments, additives, other resins, and more than one fluoropolymer. The main applications of fluoropolymer finishes are in cookware and industrial anticorrosion and high-temperature uses. A separate volume, Fluorinated Coatings and Finishes, a Plastics Design Library (PDL) volume in the Fluorine Handbook Series published by William Andrew, Inc., covers the topic. 

The first two books of the series cover commercial fluoropolymers (ethylinic) the third book focuses on their applications in the chemical processing industries. The fourth book deals with fluoroelastomers, the fifth with fluorinated coatings and finishes, and the sixth book is about fluorinated ionomers such as Nafion . 

Coatings. Coatings have more application in dry wood than in waterlogged wood. Numerous types of coatings and finishes are applied to wooden objects, but a description of their use, selection, and function is beyond the scope of this book. To the extent that they can be used to prevent weathering in the form of mechanical damage or deterioration by ultraviolet radiation, they are covered in Chapter 11. 

The development of the petrochemical industry has enabled the mass supply of various types of polymers with attractive properties. Although many polymers are widely used in various fields(e.g. as paints, adhesives, coatings and finishes in housing), they are subject to gradual deterioration under natural exposure.
