Noun
/ʌnˈbɒndɪd ˈkoʊtɪŋz/
Unbonded coatings refer to surface coverings that do not adhere or stick tightly to a substrate. They are often used in various industries, including construction, automotive, and aerospace, to provide a protective layer without forming a permanent bond with the underlying material.
These coatings can serve multiple functions, such as preventing corrosion, reducing friction, or providing a barrier against contaminants. Their usage is somewhat technical, making them more common in written contexts such as industry reports, technical specifications, and manufacturing processes compared to everyday oral speech.
