Vermiculite is sometimes used in what type of coating?

True or false: According to a JPCL article, the service life of a duplex system has been reported in some studies to be a factor of 15 to 23 times the sum of the individual service lives for galvanizing or painting alone.

Recent testing has revealed that a nanostructured chemical vapor deposition coating, which provides resistance to water droplet erosion and solid particle erosion, extends the life of steam turbine blades. With these new findings, do you expect more steam and gas turbine blades will have this type of coating?

When it comes to selecting a paint and coatings supplier, which of these is most important?

What are the criteria for selecting coatings for application during extreme (atmospheric) heat?
