Coating application. There are different types of coating based on the application method used.
Flow-coating: jet spraying of a coating, in a larger quantity than what required, which is made to drip, recovered and put into production again.
Dipping: application by dipping the item to be coated into a tank, extracting it at a controlled speed to obtain an even coating.
By brush: manual application by brush.
By roller: See Roller.
Spray: application of coating sprayed by gun or similar tool.
Airless, see Spray guns.
By cloth: manual application with a cloth soaked with product.
By pad: see Pad.
By extrusion: a wooden profile is made to pass in a coating bath contained in a special tank: the amount depends of the accuracy of an outline through which the outcoming profile passes.
By vacuum extrusion: unlike the conventional extrusion, this uses a vacuum to determine the thickness, specific for UV coatings
By plunging: manual coating that differs from the dipping coating in that the extraction speed is not controlled.
By fog coating: application of a coating fog that lays onto the item to be coated (arranged on a conveyor belt) falling from a head transversal to the belt.
With reverse: see Reverse roller coater.
Electrostatic: application performed by an electric field created between the spraying system and the item to be coated (see Spray gun).
