Contextual Overview The $89 billion dollar coating industry is going through an upheaval. Many industrial companies operate equipment in harsh operating environments where they get compromised by extreme temperatures, humidity, corrosion, wear, stress, impact or even biofouling. Their traditional standby coatings used to protect their equipment either are insufficient or have the potential to be permanently banned due to environmental regulations. Some of the most popular coatings used today, such as hard chrome, are created using processes that have been known to cause cancer. Other popular coatings made from hazardous substances include lead, cadmium, chromium, cobalt and tungsten carbide.
