Abstract
Disclosed herein are articles having an edge that is partially, or entirely sealed with one or more coatings including a polymeric material. The article may include a coating selected so that one surface (e.g., a face surface) has a desired property (e.g., an appearance, such as a chrome appearance), and a second surface (e.g., a different face surface, or an edge surface) is covered with a different material, where the different coatings provide protection to at least the edge surface. Also disclosed are coating materials including a tracer component. Also disclosed are methods for coating a substrate. Also disclosed are methods for confirming the presence of a coating, particularly on an edge surface.
