4. Application properties

Enamels can be used in a wide range of applications, and the properties of the different types of enamel will depend on the role required of each of them:

• resistance to chemical agents and attack by aqueous media ;

• resistance to thermal shock ;

• resistance to atmospheric agents ;

• corrosion resistance in the domestic environment.

Each case will require a specific study, and various controls will be necessary. Some will be specific to a particular type of enamel, while others will be common to the intended purpose.
