Abstract: This specification describes the use of a composition comprising a nanoscale powder, a porous ceramic powder and a solvent for protecting a metallic surface against chemical attacks at high temperatures, in particular in a reducing and/or carburizing atmosphere, and also a corresponding process. Furthermore, this specification describes a plant part having a metallic surface which, in the operating state, is exposed to a reducing and/or carburizing atmosphere, wherein the surface is coated with a porous protective coating having a specific surface area of at least 20 m2/g.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for coating apparatuses and apparatus parts for chemical plant construction—which are taken to mean, for example, apparatus, tank and reactor walls, discharge devices, valves, pumps, filters, compressors, centrifuges, columns, dryers, comminution machines, internals, packing elements and mixing elements—wherein a metal layer or a metal/polymer dispersion layer is deposited in an electroless manner on the apparatus(es) or apparatus part(s) to be coated by bringing the parts into contact with a metal electrolyte solution which, in addition to the metal electrolyte, comprises a reducing agent and optionally the polymer or polymer mixture to be deposited in dispersed form, where at least one polymer is halogenated.
