Coating of metals

NACE v2.1 Code: C25.51

About coating of metals

NACE code 25.51, 'Coating of metals', represents a crucial industry within the broader manufacturing sector. This industry is responsible for the application of protective and decorative coatings to a wide range of metal products, from automotive parts to construction materials. By enhancing the durability, corrosion resistance, and aesthetic appeal of metal surfaces, the coating industry plays a vital role in supporting various downstream industries and contributing to the overall strength of the economy.

Production process

The primary production techniques used in the coating of metals industry involve the application of various coating materials, such as paints, varnishes, enamels, and metallic coatings, to the surface of metal products. This is typically done through processes like dipping, spraying, or electroplating, depending on the specific requirements of the product and the desired coating characteristics. The coatings are then cured or dried to ensure a durable and long-lasting finish.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the coating of metals industry include raw materials such as paints, varnishes, enamels, and metallic coating compounds, as well as the necessary machinery and equipment for the application and curing of the coatings. Additionally, the industry relies on a skilled workforce capable of operating the production equipment and ensuring the quality of the final products.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of the coating of metals industry are the coated metal products, which can be used in a variety of downstream industries. These include the 29.10 Manufacture of motor vehicles, 25.11 Manufacture of metal structures and parts of structures, 23.11 Manufacture of flat glass, and 25.62 Machining, among others. The coatings applied to these metal products can enhance their durability, corrosion resistance, and aesthetic appeal, making them suitable for a wide range of applications.
