Capabilities

	Processes
	Your choices are...
	Ceramic Coating		Ceramic coatings exhibit excellent resistance to wear, heat, and aqueous corrosion. In addition, the coatings are an excellent electrical insulator.
	Applied / Spray-on		Spray-on liners, applied lining systems, or high-build coatings are formed in place through a spray, troweling, or gunning. Some protective liners and lining systems are available as fluoroplastic films or barrier membranes applied to a surface with an adhesive. Others applied linings are available as coated cloths or tarps. Liners and high-build coatings are thicker compared to typical paint and coating applications; e.g., liners are measured in inches while coatings are measured in mils (0.001 inches).
	Liner - Tile / Shaped		Tile, block, sectional liners, inserts and shaped lining sections are cemented or bonded to a surface and then grouted or sealed. Tile linings are useful when the entire internal surface of a ball mill, crusher or other process vessel requires wear protection. Shaped liner sections are used to protect corners within vessels or bends within piping. Wear pad, plates, or strips are shaped sections attached to surfaces through mechanical fastening, adhesive bonding, brazing or welding. Wear pads or shaped liner sections are useful when a specific region of a surface needs protection.
	Plating / Electroplating		Plating is a process used to deposit a coating onto a metal or conductive surface using a metal salt solution of the metal coating to be deposited. Electroplating requires the application of DC power, while electroless plating does not.
	Thermal Spraying		A continuous coating by melting the consumable material into droplets and impinging these droplets on the substrate. The thickness of the coatings may range from 25 µm to 2.5 mm (.001 - .1 in). The thermal spray coatings compete with plating and paint coating for atmospheric corrosion resistance in water tanks, TV towers, bridges, and other large steel structures.
	Thin Film Coating		Thin film coatings play a prominent role on the manufacture of many electric devices. They are used to apply dopants and sealants to chips and other microelectronic parts. Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) and Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) are two most common types of thin film coating methods.
	Films, Membranes and Sheets		Films, membranes and sheets are cut to size and then placed, attached, or adhered to the surface to be lined and protected.
	Drop-in		Drop-in liners are preformed to a specific shape and then placed into the protected equipment.
	Other		Other unlisted coating process.
	Search Logic:		All products with ANY of the selected attributes will be returned as matches. Leaving all boxes unchecked will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches.
	Functional Performance
	Your choices are...
	Chemical Resistant		Coatings resistant to damage by acids, alkalis, general chemicals and oils.
	Conductive		The coating forms an electrically conductive layer on the substrate.
	Dielectric		In general, any optical coating made from dielectric (nonconducting) materials. Specifically, high-reflection coatings made from a stack of alternate layers of high and low refractive-index material, with each layer in the stack having an optical thickness of a quarter wave at the design wavelength.
	Corrosion / Rust Preventive		A type of coating that prevents rust by preventing moisture from reaching the metal or underlying substrate or by providing a sacrificial layer. Resin based coatings are corrosion and chemically resistant and provide a barrier to protect the substrate. Zinc or aluminum coatings provide a sacrificial layer that galvanically protects the ferrous surface, even if the layer is breached in places. Zinc phosphate, barium metaborate and strontium chromate (all pigments) are common ingredients in corrosion inhibitive coatings. These pigments absorb any moisture that enters the coating film.  Lubricant, oil and grease coating provide a water repellent barrier, which inhibits corrosion. Rust preventative coatings are designed to minimize rust or iron alloy corrosion when applied directly to ferrous metal such as carbon or alloy steels.
	Heat Resistant / High Temperature		The coating is resistant to damage by heat or the coating is formulated for use in high temperature environments.
	Mold Release / Nonstick		Release and nonstick coatings are applied to a substrate to prevent materials from sticking.  Mold releases are applied to the surface of a mold or die cavity and allow the molded component to be easily ejected or removed.
	Oil & Grease Resistant		Coatings resistant to degradation when in contact with oils, lubricants, grease and other petroleum fluids. Oil repellent or oleophobic coatings are not wet by oils.
	Protective		Coatings for the protection of substrates.
	VOC Compliant		Volatile Organic Chemicals (VOCs) are any carbon compound that evaporates under standard test conditions. Essentially, all paint solvents except water are VOCs. Federal and state governments limit the amount of volatile organics found in paint because of environmental and health effects.
	Waterproof / Water Repellant		Exterior clear finishes that are specially formulated to cause water to bead up on the surface and minimize penetration of water into the substrate.
	Other		Other unlisted features.
	Search Logic:		All products with ANY of the selected attributes will be returned as matches. Leaving all boxes unchecked will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches.

Material

	Substrate Capabilities
	Your choices are...
	Aluminum		A bluish, silver-white, malleable, ductile light trivalent metallic element that has good electrical and thermal conductivity, high reflectivity, and resistance to oxidation.
	Ceramic		Materials made of nonmetallic minerals, such as clay, that have been permanently hardened by firing at a high temperature. Most ceramics resist heat and chemicals.
	Composites		Composite materials typically consist of a matrix and a dispersed, fibrous or continuous second phase. The second phase may reinforce (strengthen or stiffen), alter electrical or magnetic properties, or enhance wear or erosion resistance.
	Copper / Copper Alloys		A common reddish metallic element that is ductile and malleable and is one of the best conductors of heat and electricity. Copper alloys are specified for applications where superior corrosion resistance, electrical conductivity and good bearing surface qualities are desired. All copper-based alloys are easily plated, brazed, soldered and machined.
	Glass		Glass is a hard, brittle material consisting of a mixture of silicates that is usually transparent or translucent. It is considered to be a cooled liquid rather than a true solid.
	Iron / Cast Iron		Iron is a heavy, malleable, ductile, magnetic, silver-white metallic element. The term "cast iron" refers not to a single material, but to a family of materials whose major constituent is iron with important trace amounts of carbon and silicon. Cast irons are natural composite materials whose properties are determined by their microstructures - the stable and metastable phases formed during solidification or subsequent heat treatment. The major microstructural constituents of cast irons are: the chemical and morphological forms taken by carbon, and the continuous metal matrix in which the carbon and/or carbide are dispersed.
	Metal		Metals and alloys such as steel, copper, and stainless steel, as well as more exotic alloys such as titanium, zirconium, niobium, or palladium.
	Nickel / Nickel Alloys		Nickel and nickel alloys such as such as Monel®, Kovar®, Invar®, Inconel®, Incoloy®, Hastelloy®, and others. Monel, Inconel and Incoloy are registered trademarks of Special Metals Corporation. Kovar and Invar are registered trademarks of Carpenter Technology. Hastelloy is a registered trademark of Haynes International.
	Precious Metals		Relatively scarce, highly corrosion resistant, valuable metals found in periods 5 and 6 of the periodic table. They include ruthenium, rhodium, palladium, silver, osmium, iridium, platinum, and gold.
	Plastic		Any of numerous organic, synthetic, or processed materials that are mostly thermoplastic or thermosetting polymers of high molecular weight and that can be made into objects, films, or filaments.
	Stainless Steel		Stainless steel is chemically and corrosion resistant and can have relatively high pressure ratings.
	Steel / Steel Alloys		Steel is a commercial iron that contains carbon in any amount up to about 1.7 percent as an essential alloying constituent. It is malleable when under suitable conditions, and is distinguished from cast iron by its malleability and lower carbon content.
	Titanium		Titanium is a hard, lustrous, silvery element that is relatively abundant in the Earth's crust. It is known for its lightness, strength, and corrosion resistance. For this reason it is used widely in the aerospace industry and the medical fields (e.g., replacement joints). When alloyed with other metals, especially steel, it adds strength and oxidation resistance.
	Wood		Wood is often cut and dried for use as building material and fuel.
	Specialty / Other		Other, specialty, proprietary or unlisted material type.
	Search Logic:		All products with ANY of the selected attributes will be returned as matches. Leaving all boxes unchecked will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches.
