A method for preventing hardener compounds to be formed from hardener precursors in an aerosol formulation suitable for use in aerosol for making a paint is disclosed.

Coating compositions for coating an oilfield operational component, and related methods, may include in some aspects a coating composition having a trifunctional silane, a silanol, and a filler. The coating composition may be applied to a surface of the oilfield operational component that is configured to be exposed to a fluid. The coating composition may be applied to at least partially cover or coat the surface. The coating composition may be configured to chemically bond with a cured primer composition that includes an epoxy.

An abradable coating is formed on a mechanical part from a polymer resin-containing powder deposited over a polymer resin-containing liquid that is substantially free of volatile organic hydrocarbons. The liquid and the powder are then cured together to form an abradable coating. The polymer resin-containing powder may include a first thermosetting resin and a filler having a melting point above a cure temperature of the first thermosetting resin. The interactions of the powder and the liquid result in a durable abradable coating. Because the liquid is substantially free of volatile organic hydrocarbons, overspray may be recovered and used to coat other parts.
