A review of generic organic coatings available for downhole environments is presented. Key factors in the coating selection process is discussed as follows: powder versus liquid coatings, thin film versus thick film, chemical environnent and resistance, physical environment, flexibility, abrasion resistance, and impact resistance. Advantages of each generic type as well as specific limitations is included.
