Sealing layer

Sealing layer in surface technology refers to a process in which a protective layer is applied to the surface of a material to protect it from external influences such as moisture, chemicals, abrasion or UV radiation. This protective layer is also referred to as a sealing layer or coating and serves to seal the surface and maintain its functionality and aesthetics.

Sealing layers can be carried out in various ways, depending on the specific requirements of the application and the properties of the material. Typical sealing methods include the application of lacquers, waxes, polymers, silicones or other coating materials. These materials form a protective barrier on the surface that protects the material from harmful influences while improving its durability and longevity.

An important function of sealing layers is to prevent moisture or other aggressive substances from penetrating the material, which could lead to corrosion, discoloration or other damage. In addition, a sealing layer can also help to make the surface easier to clean by repelling dirt, grease or other contaminants.

The selection of the appropriate sealer material and technique depends on several factors, including the material to be sealed, the environmental conditions, the application and the desired properties of the sealer. Overall, sealing plays a crucial role in surface protection and helps to improve the life and performance of materials by protecting them from harmful influences and preserving their appearance.
