The issue of the number of painting passes
Thread Content
Are the number of coats, layers, and applications all the same thing? If not, what is the difference?
Each type of paint has its own application method and thickness; there is no uniform standard. It is recommended to consult a material supplier for details. Of course, the key aspects of each application method are the film thickness and tensile strength required by your company, among other things
Regarding books and specifications, some indicate the number of paths, some the number of layers, while others specify the number of repetitions. I wonder if they mean the same thing.

Number of coats = Number of layers = Number of applications ------------------- But some instructions state that brushing is not allowed, spraying should be used, and indicate something about the size of the overlapping areas, etc... For details, one must refer to their application instructions
Number of paths = Number of layers = Number of iterations, confirmed? Do the three of them mean the same thing?
Yes... it means the same thing. For industrial paints, each company has its own standards it desires or sets, so manufacturers produce paints that meet those requirements. For example, there are typically three coats: a primer, an intermediate coat, and a topcoat – what’s known as a three-layer system. Of course, some primers or intermediate coats may involve just two layers. As for why there are different numbers of layers, it depends on the painting methods used...
A construction worker explained that brushing with a painting brush horizontally or vertically once is called a “stroke”. One layer requires N coats. At the same time, one layer needs to be painted N times. According to him, layer is greater than dao and bian.
Well... I can only say that he’s playing word games... No matter how many times or layers he applies it, that’s not what matters; what’s important is whether the thickness of each paint layer meets the requirements of the paint supplier. -------------- Some requirements specify that reapplying paint isn’t allowed, or that spraying should be used instead.... -------------- Thicker paint layers don’t necessarily mean better results; following the proper methods and regulations is what’s key to preventing corrosion
