Currently the world's appearance of various types of special coating has reached hundreds of new varieties, but also appear constantly, therefore to classify strict and precise to the special coating is difficult to type, substrate type, coating application objects, the role of the environmental performance of the general principle or distinction.

(1) according to the different classification according to the coating of a substrate coated substrates can be divided into metal materials, wood, concrete and stone, glass and plastic etc..

(2) classified according to different application fields can be used in electronic and electrical equipment and instrument industry, machinery industry, transportation industry, construction industry, light industry and food industry, corrosion protection, military and cutting-edge technology division.

(3) according to the classification of different functions can be divided into functional coatings, special coatings, surface properties of special decorative coating material, special materials, special coatings curing mechanism or special film craft paint etc..

Special function coating mainly has the following several types.

Electrically conductive coatings, insulation coatings, functional coatings, electronic field relaxation marking coating, anti-static coating, paint, printing circuit of integrated circuit, electric wave absorption coating paint.

The function of light luminous paint, fluorescent paint, light storage coating, liquid crystal display, camouflage paint coating, selection of wave absorbing coating, road sign paint, infrared radiation coating.

The wave function of damping coating.

The mechanical physical function thick film coating, lubrication coating, anti slip coating, paint, coating, the expansion strain of non adhesion type coating, anti condensation coating, anti ice coating, high elasticity coating, breakage proof coating, surface hardening coating, atomic ash.

The function of heat resistant coatings, fire retardant paint, temperature indicating coatings, heat reflection coating, heat absorption coating, low temperature resistant coating, spacecraft thermal control coatings, ablative coating.

The biological functions of antifouling coatings, mouldproof coatings, insecticidal coating, coating aquatic nutrition.

The anti radiation function of anti radiation, anti pollution paint ray coating. 

The corrosion protection function of heavy corrosion resistant coatings, antirust paint, acid and alkali resistant coating, chemical resistant coatings, boiling water resistance coating material etc..
