subject: Can You Really Protect With Spray On Coatings? [print this page] Well the simple answer to this is yes. Well the simple answer to this is yes.
Some of the main uses of spray on coatings are in the construction industry, for protecting glazing or window frames on a building site. But more and more businesses are using this type of temporary protection in a wide variety of other areas.
The reason for the growth in this type of coating is due to a multi-surface version which can be used on pretty much any non-porous surface, the ease of application and the wide variety of its uses.
Some of the varied uses I have found are listed below:
Signage on sports stadiums that use it to temporarily cover advertising, the same also applies to vehicles; this has become particularly important with the strict advertising restrictions that are now in place for the 2012 Olympics in London.
Commercial floor protection for example in a TV show studio, a news broadcast set has recently used this type of spray on protective coating to cover their floors and then paint over it regularly in order to keep the floor shiny. If they were to paint on the original floor they would be applying layers of paint every week or month but with spray on coatings they apply the paint on a few times and then just pull it up and start again.
Blanking out windows and skylights; I have also recently come across a venue that is using spray on coatings for a solution for blacking out skylights.
One of the fastest growing areas that spray on protection is used in is the protection of goods during transit. Due to it being quick and easy to apply, it is now used by thousands of companies to protect items that are prone to scratching when shipped.
I could go on and on with obscure and unique uses of this type of coating, but with it being so versatile the number of different types of use is almost endless. If I find any other truly amazing uses of spray on coatings I will let you know.
As technology moves on and construction and manufacturing processes improve, I am sure that the different types of coating on the market will change. I am constantly following this industry and looking for the latest materials and products available, so you can be sure that when the next thing hits the market it will be me telling you about it.
