Process of covering the surface of the metal, generally in order to protect it from corrosion. The coating can take various forms: from simple painting to the use of compounds (TIN, TIC), metals (zinc, stellite) petroliferous derived products or ceramic materials.

When light passes into a lens, the highly polished glass surface of the lens reflects light at each air-lens interface (lens surface). The erratic reflected light mixes with usable light, detracting from the image. (This is called diffusion.) Lens coatings seek to eliminate this phenomenon, but each coating typically affects only a limited frequency range (color) of light. Older single coatings like Magnesium Fluoride (MgF2) can do a lot in one coating but multiple coatings are better. Multi-coatings have a seperate layer for each part of the visible spectrum. Since the coating reduces reflection it affects the amount of light transmission. For a quality multi-coated riflescope, total light transmission should be over 95%. No multi-coating is 100% efficient. Since each extra lens introduces more light-reflecting surfaces, simpler fixed-power scopes are often brighter and sharper than variables with more lenses.

a thin layer covering something; "a second coat of paint"

a decorative texture or appearance of a surface (or the substance that gives it that appearance); "the boat had a metallic finish"; "he applied a coat of a clear finish"; "when the finish is too thin it is difficult to apply evenly"

the work of applying something; "the doctor prescribed a topical application of iodine"; "a complete bleach requires several applications"; "the surface was ready for a coating of paint";

a covering, usually liquid, that is put on to protect, or change the appearance of something

a thin layer of some other material on the surface of a part

A finishing, protecting, or enclosing layer that seals a component from its immediate environment.

A thin polymeric layer applied to the surface of a film to provide enhanced surface characteristics.

mineral substances such as china clay applied to the surface of paper to make it more suitable for some methods of printing.

A general term for paints, varnishes, and lacquers. However, the term coating is now more closely associated with paints for severe exposures.

a paper finishing operation in which the surface of a paper is covered with a substance to impart a desired finish or texture to the paper and improve its printability.

A layer of varnish, inks or other organic material that has been applied in fluid form and dried, united with or adhered to the surface of the metal from which the closure will be made.

A clear coating provides protection from smudging, fingerprints and water droplets. It does not improve the permanence of the print because most fading is due to visible light. On some material, such as canvas, coating can render a print water-resistant, allowing it to be framed without glass.
