Coated oilfield operational components and methods for protecting and extending the service life of oilfield operational components

A method of coating a component, the method comprising:

• spraying a primer composition onto the component via a spray head configured to atomize the primer composition as it is applied to the component;
• at least partially curing the primer composition to form a primer layer, such that the primer layer at least partially bonds to the component;
• spraying a coating composition onto the primer layer, the coating composition comprising trifunctional silane, silanol fluid, and titanium dioxide;
• and
• at least partially curing the coating composition so as to form a coating layer, so that the coating layer at least partially bonds to the primer layer to enhance wear resistance of the component, the coating composition comprising T-resin units each of which bonds with one or more of other T-resin units, silanol fluid, fillers, or the titanium dioxide, and so that the component exhibits a comparison factor indicative of an increased resistance to wear, the comparison factor being indicative of a first amount of time during which a portion of one or more of the coating layer or the primer layer wears to a first depth divided by a second amount of time during which a portion of the component without the one or more of the coating layer or the primer layer wears to a second depth equal to the first depth.

A method of coating a component, the method comprising:

• at least partially curing the primer composition to form a primer layer, such that the primer layer at least partially bonds to the component;
• applying a coating composition to the primer layer, the coating composition comprising trifunctional silane, silanol fluid, or fillers;
• and
• at least partially curing the coating composition so as to form a coating layer, so that the coating layer at least partially bonds to the primer layer to enhance wear resistance of the component, the coating composition comprising T-resin units each of which bonds with one or more of other T-resin units, silanol fluid, fillers, or one or more pigments, and so that the component exhibits a comparison factor indicative of an increased resistance to wear greater than about 2, the comparison factor being indicative of a first amount of time during which a portion of one or more of the coating layer or the primer layer wears to a first depth divided by a second amount of time during which a portion of the component without the one or more of the coating layer or the primer layer wears to a second depth equal to the first depth.

• spraying a coating composition onto the primer layer, the coating composition comprising trifunctional silane, silanol fluid, and fillers, the spraying the coating composition onto the component comprises (a) pumping the coating composition via an airless pump at an output ratio ranging from about 40:1 to about 80:1 to a spray head configured to rotate and atomize the coating composition, and (b) supplying air to the spray head to cause the spray head to rotate as the coating composition is atomized and sprayed from the spray head;
• and
• at least partially curing the coating composition so as to form a coating layer, so that the coating layer at least partially bonds to the primer layer to enhance wear resistance of the component, the coating composition comprising T-resin units each of which bonds with one or more of other T-resin units, silanol fluid, or the fillers, and so that the component exhibits a comparison factor indicative of an increased resistance to wear, the comparison factor being indicative of a first amount of time during which a portion of one or more of the coating layer or the primer layer wears to a first depth divided by a second amount of time during which a portion of the component without the one or more of the coating layer or the primer layer wears to a second depth equal to the first depth.
