Problem

High temperature oxidation & corrosion

Prevents moisture/steam attack

Ultra-thin films minimize thermal stress

Stability against molten salts

Atmospheric (salty air) & Seawater corrosion

Resistant to salt fog corrosion

Can be transparent or colored

Pinhole-free coating

Possibly non-stick for microbes and sea life (barnacles, etc.)

Moisture susceptibility, Sodium diffusion  & hydrophilicity

Non-wetting or Hydrophobic

(self-cleaning)

Hermetic sealing, Diffusion Barrier

Corrosion by molten metal

Non-wetting to molten Aluminum

Oxidation protection

Surface degradation

Prevents oxidation, discoloration

Non-stick behavior

Scratch/Mar resistance

Atmospheric corrosion and formation of patina

Hydrophobic
Anti-tarnish

Water beads up without leaving a corrosive residue

Oxidation, corrosion from process fluid, coking

Oxidation protection

Limit coke formation

Carburization protection

Corrosion or oxidation at high temperatures

Corrosion/Oxidation protection

Corrosion from black liquor

Protective coating
