Coating and Painting

A coating, from a surface engineering point of view, is a layer of material deposited onto a substrate to enhance the surface properties for corrosion and wear protection. Factors affecting the choice of a coating include service environment, life expectancy, substrate material compatibility, component shape and size, and cost. There is a wide range of coating processes for depositing many different types of material at thicknesses ranging from just a few microns, up to several millimeters. The different types of coatings can be categorized in many ways. One common approach is based on the manner in which the coating material is deposited on the substrate surface. This includes atomic deposition, particulate deposition and bulk coating or cladding. Some common coating types are given below in the table.

EIFS

An Exterior Insulation Finishing System (EIFS), also known as EWI (Exterior Wall Insulation Systems) or External Thermal Insulation Composite Systems (ETICS) is a type of cladding system that provides exterior walls with an insulated finished surface and waterproofing in an integrated composite material system. Put another way, an Exterior Insulation Finishing System / External Thermal Insulation Composite Systems can be defined as an ideal energy efficient thermal wrapping or facade insulation applied to the exterior surfaces of a building which is then finished with a long-life, decorative and protective wall coating that can be installed on any type of construction.
