According to the Deutsches Institut für Normung (DIN) also known as German Institute of Standardization, corrosion is the physical interaction between a metal and its environment that results in changes of the metal's properties and which may lead to significant functional impairment of the metal, the environment or the technical system of which they form a part. Corrosion damage is a phenomenon that causes impairment of the metal function, environment or the technical system. Corrosion damage is characterized by the complete loss of operational capability of the technical system. Corrosion doesn't occur as linear abrasion, but in versatile forms of appearance. It is mainly caused due to the environmental factors which include air, soil and water. Corrosion protection is therefore needed to minimize the expenses for costly repetitive maintenance measures. Corrosion protective coatings are therefore used to avoid protect metal from degradation due to moist air, oxidation, salt spray and exposure to various industrial and environmental chemicals.

A coating is a covering which is applied to a substrate in order to serve decorative, functional or both purposes. Paints and coatings are formulated to suit the specific purpose they are designed to serve. Functional coatings may be applied to change the surface properties of the substrate, for instance, they can enhance adhesion, corrosion resistance or wetability. Marking coatings are the coatings which are used to mark traffic zones on a road or to demarcate production areas from walking aisles in factories and storage areas in warehouses. Marking coatings find numerous uses in industries. One of the primary requirements of marking coatings is pigment brightness. Titanium dioxide is a key raw material required to manufacture marking coatings. It imparts a bright white color to the coating, making it suitable for markings.

Organic compounds with acidic properties are organic acids. Carboxyl acids are the most common type of organic acids used commercially, carboxyl acids comprise carboxyl group with long carbon chain. Organic acids produced by replacing one hydroxyl group in sulfuric acid are sulfonic acids such as toluenesulfonic acid, methanesulfonic acid, etc. Carboxyl acids are weak organic acids whereas sulfonic acids are among the strongest acids available. Some of the commonly used organic acids include acetic acid, lactic acid, citric acid and uric acid among several others.

Conductive polymers are organic polymers having high electrical conductivity. These can have metallic conductivity or semiconductors. The electrical properties can be customized using method of organic synthesis. The major advantage it offers is process ability through dispersions. These coatings are made up some basic polymers those could be polyaniline, polypyrrole and polyacetylene. The applications of conductive polymer coatings include sensors, optical & electronic materials, actuators, bio-sensors, super-capacitors, bio-implants and corrosion protection for electrical energy storage.

Xylenes are petrochemicals produced by catalytic reforming and coal carbonization in the manufacture of coke fuel. They are used in various industries and medical technology as a solvent. It occurs naturally in coal, wood tar and coal among others. Xylenes are mainly produced as a part of the BTX aromatics. They are derived from various sources within a refinery including pyrolysis gasoline, toluene disproportionation and reformate among others. Reformate accounts for over three fourths of mixed xylenes market. There are three types of xylenes, viz., ortho-xylene, meta xylene and para xylene.

Perchloroethylene or tetrachloroethylene also known as PERC is a colorless liquid which is chemically stable, non-flammable and has a sweet-smelling fragrance. PERC is manufactured by chloronylosis of relatively lighter hydrocarbons. It is used as a solvent in various chemicals. PERC is a chemical intermediate mainly used in refrigerants such as hyrdrofluorocarbon and hydrochlorofluorocarbons. Additionally, it is used in dry cleaning in both industrial and commercial markets. PERC along with other chlorocarbons are used as vapor degreaser in automotives, aerospace and metalworking industries. It has higher boiling point and long cleaning phase which helps to remove difficult waxes and soils from the surfaces. It is also used as an extractant for oils and fats.
