Thinnercoated
Thinnercoated is a term used in coatings technology to describe a coating layer that is deliberately applied thinner than standard reference coatings. The concept covers coatings whose dry film thickness is typically in the low micrometer range, achieved by solvent dilution, using low-solids or fast-drying formulations, or applying fewer coats. Thinnercoated finishes are common in decorative wood finishes, electronics packaging, and automotive repair where weight, cure time, or surface smoothness are critical.
Application and measurement: Techniques to achieve thinner coatings include diluting the coating with compatible solvents, using
Performance and trade-offs: The main advantages are material savings, reduced weight, faster curing, and smoother surface.
Industry context: Thinnercoated approaches are selected when project constraints prioritize speed and economy over maximum durability.
