The surfaces of apparatuses and apparatus parts for chemical plant construction, including, for example, apparatus, container and reactor walls, discharge apparatuses, fittings, pumps, filters, compressors, centrifuges, columns, heat exchangers, dryers, comminuting machines, internals, packings and mixing elements, are coated by a process wherein protuberances having a mean height of from 100 nm to 50 &mgr;m with a mean spacing of from 100 nm to 100 &mgr;m are produced on the surface to be coated and the coating is applied thereon by currentless deposition of a metal layer or of a metal-polymer dispersion layer with the aid of a plating bath which contains a metal electrolyte, a reducing agent and optionally a polymer or polymer blend to be deposited, in dispersed form.

Method for coating apparatuses and parts of apparatuses for the construction of chemical installations

The invention relates to a process for the production of a heat transfer device, which comprises electroless chemical deposition of a metal/polymer dispersion layer, in which the polymer is halogenated, on a heat transfer surface. The invention furthermore relates to a process for the production of a heat transfer device, wherein a metal/phosphorus layer with a thickness of from 1 to 15 &mgr;m is applied by electroless chemical deposition before application of the metal/polymer dispersion layer. The invention furthermore relates to a heat transfer device which can be produced by a process according to the invention, and to the use of a coating, produced by electroless chemical deposition of a metal/polymer dispersion layer, in which the polymer is halogenated, for reducing the tendency of the coated surfaces to accumulate solids from fluids, causing fouling.
