Industrial porcelain enamel
The use of porcelain enamel (also known as vitreous enamel) for industrial, rather than artistic,
applications. Porcelain enamel, a thin layer of ceramic or glass applied to a substrate of metalis used
to protect surfaces from chemical attack and physical damage, modify the structural characteristics
of the substrate, and improve the appearance of the product.

Enamel has been used for art and decoration since the period of Ancient Egypt, and for industry
since the Industrial Revolution.It is most commonly used in the production of cookware, home
appliances, bathroom fixtures, water heaters, and scientific laboratory equipment.
Properties
Its resistance to corrosion. Mild steel is used in almost every industry and a huge array of products;
porcelain enamel is a very economic way of protecting this, and other chemically vulnerable
materials, from corrosion. It can also produce very smooth, glossy finishes in a wide array of colours;
these colours will not fade on exposure to UV light, as paint will. Being a fired ceramic, porcelain
enamel is also highly heat-resistant; this allows it to be used in high-temperature applications where
an organic anti-corrosion coating or galvanization may be impractical or even dangerous (see Metal
fume fever).

Porcelain enamel also sees less frequent employment of some of its other properties; examples are
its abrasion resistance, where it may perform better than many metals; its resistance to organic
solvents, where it is entirely impervious; its resistance to thermal shock, where it can resist rapid
cooling from temperatures 500°C and higher; and its longevity.
