Paint and Coating
Paint:
The main purpose of painting anything is to improve the aesthetics (the look or beauty of something). Paint can be applied to a variety of surfaces using many different application techniques. While there are some protective qualities that come with painting anything, that is not the real purpose of paint. The result of applying paint is for any surface to temporarily look nicer, look more vibrant, appear cleaner, or seem newer than it did before paint was applied.
Coating:
What paint cannot do is where coating steps in; perform. Coating is paint with purpose. The end purpose depends on the coating system that is decided upon. Like paint, coatings are applied to a variety of surfaces using many different application techniques. Here are a few examples of the performance a coating system can provide that paint cannot:
-
color retention
-
flexibility and elasticity
-
waterproofing
-
water-shedding
-
breathability (permeable)
-
rust and corrosion containment and prevention
-
self-cleaning
-
anti-microbial
