protective coatings

Protective coatings are thin layers of materials applied to surfaces to prevent damage from environmental factors like corrosion, moisture, UV rays, and chemicals. They serve as a barrier, preserving the integrity and appearance of structures, machinery, or surfaces. Common examples include paint on cars, enamel on metal appliances, or sealants on concrete. These coatings extend the lifespan of objects, reduce maintenance costs, and help maintain safety and aesthetic value. They are formulated to adhere well, withstand wear, and provide effective protection tailored to specific environments or materials.
