Polymeric coatings are coatings or paint made with polymers that provide superior adherence and protection from corrosion.
The polymeric coating process applies an elastomer or other polymeric material onto a supporting substrate. Examples of polymeric coatings include:
- Natural and synthetic rubber
- Urethane
- Polyvinyl chloride
- Acrylic, epoxy, silicone
- Phenolic resins
- Nitrocellulose
Polymer coatings can be applied to metals, ceramics as well as synthetic materials. They are temperature-resistant up to approx. 535°F (280°C) and FDA-approved and are therefore used primarily for food production (e.g. containers, multi-head scales, frying pans).
Applying polymeric coating to a metallic surface increases the ionic resistance.
