Usage tips
Context clues
Verbs such as 'abblättern' (to flake off) or 'sich lösen' (to come off) show that the finished layer is meant. Words like 'Dauer' (duration) or 'Verfahren' (process), as well as the verb 'erfolgen' (to take place), indicate the process of applying the coating.
EXAMPLE
An den Rändern der Form blättert die Beschichtung ab.
The coating is flaking off at the edges of the mold.
Die Beschichtung der Metallteile erfolgt in mehreren Schritten.

Typical collocations
Common collocations include 'kratzfeste Beschichtung' (scratch-resistant coating), 'hitzebeständige Beschichtung' (heat-resistant coating), and 'wasserabweisende Beschichtung' (water-repellent coating). These adjectives describe the desired property of the surface.
EXAMPLE
Eine kratzfeste Beschichtung schützt die Gläser meiner Brille.
A scratch-resistant coating protects the lenses of my glasses.
Object and material
The pattern 'Beschichtung von … mit …' (coating of … with …) names the objects first and then the applied material. The dative follows both 'von' and 'mit'.
