Surface coatings
Surface coatings are a key finishing technique in manufacturing that helps to improve the functionality and appearance of components. An important aspect of coating is corrosion protection, especially for metal parts. The coatings form a protective barrier against moisture and chemical agents that could attack the material. This extends the service life of components under challenging ambient conditions. In addition, surface coatings influence the feel of products. A certain surface feel or grip can be crucial to the user experience, especially for products that people interact with regularly. Visually, surface coatings play a major role in enhancing parts by enabling different colors, gloss levels or finishes that provide both a high-quality look and meet brand-specific design requirements. These versatile applications of surface coatings make them indispensable for customizing components to meet specific functional and aesthetic requirements.
