Coating Technique
Organic Coating
Introduction
Common types:
- Varnishes
- Stains
- Paints
- Industrial coatings
-
Coating Material
-
Volatile Components
Liquids that make the coating fluid enough for application, they evaporate during and after application
-
-
Technique Used
Dip Coating During dip coating, the substrate is immersed in the coating solution. As it is withdrawn, a liquid layer is entrained on the substrate. The thickness of this entrained solution is determined by the withdrawal speed.
Process:
- Immersion: The substrate is immersed in the solution of the coating material at a constant speed
- Start-up: The substrate has remained inside the solution for a while and is starting to be pulled up.
- Deposition: The thin layer deposits itself on the substrate while it is pulled up. The withdrawing is carried out at a constant speed to avoid any jitters. The speed determines the thickness of the coating (faster withdrawal gives thicker coating material).
- Drainage: Excess liquid will drain from the surface.
- Evaporation: The solvent evaporates from the liquid, forming the thin layer. For volatile solvents, such as alcohols, evaporation starts already during the deposition and drainage steps.
ApplicationCoated fabrics
Biomedical products(eg: gloves, etc)
Bar Coating / Film applicator An excess of solution is placed on the substrate and it is spread across by a bar. This bar is a spiral film applicator, and is essentially a long cylindrical bar with wire spiralling around it.The gaps made between the wire and the substrate determine film thickness
Application
To apply paints, inks, adhesive or other coatings material onto:
paper, textiles, leather, floor tiles, test charts.
-
Flow Coating Flow Coating involves spraying a component with excessive amounts of paint or lacquer, or applying streams of the coating material to it.
The excess coating material that drips off is then collected, filtered and automatically reintroduced to the lacquering system. The application performance is high in comparison with spraying (approximately 90 per cent) and there is almost no loss of lacquer.
In order to obtain a homogeneous layer the coating must be able to flow freely over the surface and so thorough
Advantages
- dust particles on the surface to be coated can be swept away by the coating.
- saving of coating materials as any excess materials recirculate within the system.
- ~ can be applied to just one side.
Metal Deposition
Immersion Deposition
- A displacement reaction occurs on the surface of the anode in an open-circuit.
-The work piece (anode- higher oxidation potential) dissolves to metal ions. [Fe Fe
2+ + 2e]
-Metal ions in solution deposits at the cathode [Cu2+ + 2e Cu], in the
absence of an external power source.
-This is a spontaneous reaction, driven by the electrode potential of the reaction.
application
decorative purposes:
plating jewelry,
low end gold colored item
Electroplating
an electrochemical process where metal ions are transferred from a solution and deposited as a thin layer onto surface of a cathode in the presence of DC circuit.
-
How it works? Planning for Electroplating:step 1: prepare sample
step 2 : melt wax
step 3: cover in wax
step 4 electroplating
step 5: clean off sample
-
Electroless
- a redox reaction occurs to deposit metal on object in an open circuit
-Involves the oxidation of a soluble reducing agent (bath) which supports
the cathodic deposition of metal on a catalytic surface.

Anodizing Aluminium
What is it?
Anodizing is an electrochemical (electrolytic) process that converts the metal
surface into an anodic oxide finish.
Anodizing provides surface corrosion protection along with an excellent
substrate for decorative finishes.
Aluminum anodizing is an electrochemical process which an aluminium
oxide layer is chemically built on the surface of the aluminium metal. Principle:
when the current is applied, the water in the electrolyte breaks down and oxygen is deposited at the anode, this oxygen combines with Al to form oxide o the surface.
Electrochemical Reaction
Working steps
- Aluminum part immersed in acid electrolyte
- Apply electrical current, DC, ~12V
- The aluminium part is the anode (+) (thus “Aluminium
Anodizing”)
- Switch on the power, the electrolysis and chemical reaction
occurs
- Porous aluminium oxide grows on the aluminium up to 3000 times thicker than naturally occuring Al2O3 layer
- Dye goes into pores, results in bright colors
- Place in boiling water to seal pores
-

Refractory Ceramic Coating
Refractory ceramic coating is a layer of ceramic applied to substrate
surface using very high temperature exposure.
during coating process, the substrate does not heated
technique
thermal spray coating
melted coating obtained through heating by plasma, flame and arc
-
cold spray coating
Trowelling process
Troweling is usually used in inaccessible areas or where it is
necessary to produce a very heavy coating in one application.
-
spraying process
-
Substrate preparation by chemical cleaning and sand paper grinding.
Spray the coating on to the substrate surface
Water is added for better spraying process.
Heat the object for strong binding coating.
Fine-grinding the ceramic material.
Thickness of 1-250 mils are obtainable.
