In what two ways can fungus-proof coatings be detrimental to equipment?

Fungus-proof coatings can indeed have negative implications for maintenance and performance of equipment. These coatings, while intended to prevent fungal growth and deterioration, may create a barrier that complicates necessary maintenance practices. For instance, if equipment requires regular inspections or repairs, a coating that adheres too strongly can make it difficult to access critical components, potentially leading to increased downtime and labor costs.

Additionally, the performance of equipment can be affected if the coating interferes with the operation of sensors, electrical components, or other systems. For example, if a fungus-proof coating does not allow for thermal dissipation or affects the functioning of electronic parts, it can lead to overheating or malfunction. Hence, while the intent of these coatings is protective, their application can inadvertently hinder maintenance activities and degrade overall equipment performance.
