If you＊re working with precision machining or have a need for a coating that will protect your tools from the damaging effects of solvents and other chemicals, then you might be interested in checking out these awesome hydrophobic solvent deposited coatings for precision machining made by a company called Reaction Media
These coatings are available in three different thicknesses: 0.12, 0.15 and 0.20 microns (also known as micro-m). They can be applied to most metals, hard plastics and ceramics, but not to glass or non-hardening plastics like silicone rubber or acrylics. The coatings are non-toxic and thermal stable up to 500 degrees Celsius (932 degrees Fahrenheit). They also have good adhesion properties on most common materials like aluminum, titanium, stainless steel and nickel
The application process is very simple: just spray it on using an airless paint gun or similar tool, let it dry out at room temperature and then sand it off with a high grit sandpaper until you get down to bare metal where it won't affect accuracy during machining operations like turning parts around a lathe axis or milling cylindrical surfaces flat on end with a tool
