Membrane filtration

Coating and lamination are material technologies where a coating or laminate is placed on a material surface to cover this substrate. The purpose of applying the coating may be decorative, functional, or both.

Feedstock

Coating and lamination are secondary processes where different kinds of coatings like paints or laminates are used. The coatings can be totally or partly derived from biogenic origin and may be based on biowaste resources.

Process and technologies

Types of coatings

Coatings and laminates can be materials of different types depending of the purpose and application technology used. E.g. they can be

• oils or oily liquid coatings
• paints, lacquers with solvents
• polymeric materials
• carbon black, metals, silicates and other anorganic materials

In the focus of this page are coatings and laminates that are derived from biogenic origin and can - at least in future - be derived from biowaste. This includes mainly organic materials that contain oils, solvents and polymers.

Application technologies

Depending on the type of coating or laminate there are different types of application technologies:
