The types of coatings are:

3) According to the construction process, it is divided into primer, middle coat (secondary primer), top coat, finish coat, etc.
4) According to the function, it is divided into decorative coating, anti-corrosion coating, conductive coating, anti-rust coating, heat-resistant coating, temperature-indicating coating, thermal insulation coating, fire-resistant coating, waterproof coating, etc.
