3. Paint sheen - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paint_sheen

   The sheen [4] or gloss level of a paint is principally determined by the ratio of resinous, adhesive binder, which solidifies after drying, and solid, powdery pigment.The more binder the coating contains, the more regular reflection will be made from its smooth surface; conversely, with less binder, grains of pigment become exposed to the surface, scattering the light and providing matte ...

4. Superhydrophobic coating - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superhydrophobic_coating

   In industry, super-hydrophobic coatings are used in ultra-dry surface applications. The coating can be sprayed onto objects to make them waterproof. The spray is anti-corrosive and anti-icing; has cleaning capabilities; and can be used to protect circuits and grids. Superhydrophobic coatings have important applications in maritime industry ...

5. Salt spray test - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salt_spray_test

   The salt spray test (or salt fog test) is a standardized and popular corrosion test method, used to check corrosion resistance of materials and surface coatings.Usually, the materials to be tested are metallic (although stone, ceramics, and polymers may also be tested) and finished with a surface coating which is intended to provide a degree of corrosion protection to the underlying metal.

6. Powder coating - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Powder_coating

   Heat-sensitive carbon fiber tubes coated with a UV curable powder coating. Powder coating is a type of coating that is applied as a free-flowing, dry powder.Unlike conventional liquid paint, which is delivered via an evaporating solvent, powder coating is typically applied electrostatically and then cured under heat or with ultraviolet light.

7. Vitreous enamel - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vitreous_enamel

   The powder melts, flows, and then hardens to a smooth, durable vitreous coating. The word vitreous comes from the Latin vitreus, meaning "glassy". Enamel can be used on metal, glass, ceramics, stone, or any material that will withstand the fusing temperature. In technical terms fired enamelware is an integrated layered composite of glass and ...

8. Lacquer - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lacquer

   Enamels, however, are slow drying. The advantage of acrylic lacquer is its exceptionally fast drying time. The use of lacquers in automobile finishes was discontinued when tougher, more durable, weather- and chemical-resistant two-component polyurethane coatings were developed. The system usually consists of a primer, colour coat and clear ...

9. Marston Mat - Wikipedia

   RAF aircrew with one of their Bristol Beaufighters on a PSP airstrip at Biferno, Italy, August 1944. Marston Mat, more properly called pierced (or perforated) steel planking (PSP), is standardized, perforated steel matting material developed by the United States at the Waterways Experiment Station shortly before World War II, primarily for the rapid construction of temporary runways and ...
